[blindlaw] LSAT Logic Games

[Michal Nowicki]

Hi Nicole,

When I took the LSAT last year, I used a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to
sketch out the games.  I chose Excel over tactile objects because I quickly
discovered that it would be much easier to manipulate the various conditions
that way.

For grouping games, I recommend you use columns for the groups, as those are
the stable elements in the game, and that you place the members of each
group in the cells below the appropriate group headings.  I also recommend a
separate row for all the rules.  The key to success on logic games is
working out a strategy that works for you, so feel free to experiment.

You can be certain that LSAC will not let you skip logic games, so don't
even try taking the easy way out.  In fact, I was very fortunate to get all
the accommodations I requested, as many blind test takers had major
difficulties getting the accommodations they needed; LSAC does not like to
work with test takers with disabilities to insure that their needs are met.
With that in mind, I'm afraid you won't be able to take the LSAT in June,
since you don't yet know how to tackle logic games and thus are not in a
position to request specific accommodations.  You can't, for instance,
decide that Excel works best for you a week before the test and show up on
the day of the exam expecting to be allowed to use the program; each
accommodation must be preapproved by LSAC well in advance, and the process
for requesting accommodations can be very time-consuming.  As a matter of
fact, the deadline for the June test may have already passed.

Please don't hesitate to contact me off-list at mnowicki4 at iCloud.com if you
have further questions.  Good luck!

Michal
