[blindlaw] Kaplan method

[Tai Blas]

I was able to get the law school admission Council to allow me to use Microsoft Excel on the logic games section of the test. I then developed my own shorthand symbols to use in denoting various attributes for each variable. I was very successful with this method. I had great luck with the powerscore study aids. I would be happy to discuss this via phone or email.

Although you can't draw and see a diagram, you can use spacial orientation of objects to represent the problem's components (students sitting on a bus, cars in a parking lot, whatever).  A lawyer here in Oregon used coins.  Something customizable like paperclips might be  worth experimenting with: you could bend them in shapes with predetermined values (triangles when the paperclip is to represent an odd number and squares when it is to represent an even number, etc.).

I am currently on week 4 and because of a few issues with read order of the new PDFs and dealing with some life speed bumps related to being hit by the car, I am a little behind. I would appreciate any and all input. Thanks so very much.
