LSAT anyone?

[Erin]

Okay, let's see if #3 is indeed correct. Let's put J in Group 2:

Group 1: G/M _ _ _
Group 2: J G/M _ _

J and F must be together:

Group 1: G/M _ _ _
Group 2: J F G/M _

K and N must be together, and there's only one space left in Group 2, so they must go in Group 1:

Group 1: K N G/M _
Group 2: J F G/M _

If H is in Group 1, L must be, too, and there's only one spot left in Group 1, so H must go in Group 2:

Group 1: K N G/M _
Group 2: J F H G/M

There's only one spot left for L in Group 1:

Group 1: K N L G/M
Group 2: J F H G/M

So, if J is in Group 2, we have two results:

Group 1: K N L G
Group 2: J F H M

or

Group 1: K N L M
Group 2: J F H G

So J can go into Group 2. Again, I'm getting answer choice #2.

Can you please check your answer? Also, what page # is this question on, and what is the test administration date?

Erin -- I am very,very sorry........... the answer is indeed 2 -- there are so many tests and keys that I got mixed up.The problem is in Preptest XIII - Section 1, Question 2. Again, sorry for wasting your time ...

[Erin]

Hehehe, not a waste of my time! I haven't done these in a long time, so it's good to stay in practice!

Don't you feel better now?

[tsdvj]

Indeed Erin, I feel somewhat better -- I tackled some games and now I feel I understand the key element -- finding all cases that are rejected by the conditions. Hope my score improves now

Erin,

I took my LSAT on Feb 8. I was comfortable with reading comprehension and critical reasoning, but I could satisfactorily cover only 2 out of the 4 problems in Games. I have got some questions in the other 2 and guessed on the others. There were only 22 questions (normal expected is a 24 atleast). I am not very happy with the Games performance. I will let you know my scores.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I think whatever practice I had did help with my games. I should have just put in more time (which I did not [V] ) Thanks for all your help.

Hi Erin,

I got a 162 on the LSAT. Can you comment on this score?

Again, thanks for the efforts to help me with Logical Games.

[Erin]

That's a great score! Should put you in roughly the top 10%, right?

Congrats!!

[tsdvj]

I have not received my official score, so I don't know my exact percentile -- I guess it should be in the top 10. I am yet to check out which schools I can get in.

TSDVJ's 8 consumer problem.

Setup:
F...J
K...N
~G...M
H=1 --> L=1 therefore L=2 --> H=2
N=2 --> G=1 therefore G=2 --> N=1

To test answer 1 put G in group 2.
MNKL GFJH works
So answer 1 doesn't have to be true.

For answer 2 put H in group 1.
HLKN FJGM doesn't work.
HLGJ KNMF doesn't work.
HLMJ KNGF doesn't work.
HL _ _ KN _ _ doesn't work.
Answer 2 is correct- H must be in group 2.

For answer 3 put J in group 2.
KNML JFGH works.

For answer 4 put K in group 1.
KNML JFGH works.

For Answer 5 put M in group 2.
GKNL MFJH works.

Answer 2 is correct.


TSDVJ, your example "group1 - KNGL group2 - HFJM" works too and disproves Choice 3. It is ok that you posted it, the practice is good.

Hi Tsdvj,

I'm planning on taking the test on february as well and when I first started studying for the logic game, I was only able to answer 12 questions in 35 min and most of the answers were wrong. I managed to improve however I'm still having problems with the hybrid games. I am looking for a study partner but but is hard to find. What do you recommend?
