<p>Hi, I'm getting only two out of four games done in time, and getting a couple wrong on other sections, so my LSAT score is a 163. I want to raise it by seven points. </p>
<p>I got the Powerscore bible, but I'm not finishing the practice games in the book anywhere within the time limit (they're taking me 15 minutes!), though I'm generally using the diagramming techniques. I'm not making the deductions fast enough, and now I just freeze up when I get to a question that I can't immediately answer. I make a diagram, but eventually get to a question where I realize I missed something originally, or I stumble over a local question that requires fast rearranging. I then spend almost three minutes figuring out that question before moving on. It's pretty discouraging. </p>
<p>I think I should be able to raise my score in the next three months, but I just need a ton of practice for each type of game, and need to become faster at making the right deductions. Are there any books that just have tons and tons of logic games of every type?</p>
<p>Or is the logic games section just an IQ test that I won't likely improve on? </p>
<p>My SAT is a 2330, though I realize it's a very different test.</p>
<p>I would not worry about it. Just take a lot of practice tests and you should improve. It’s also OK to redo old games since they are so repetitive anyway.</p>
<p>you might want to try doing some games untimed, and focus more on the problems and less on the timing. Maybe do 75% untimed and 25% timed now, move to 50/50 for a month, then do 25/75 for the last month?</p>
<p>And you can get books of previously administered exams at most public libraries, or online.</p>
<p>If you really want to improve your score and become comfortable taking the logic games section I would advice do SUDOKUs every day if you already don’t. The logic behind them is very similar to the thought process that goes into the games section. I personally have been sudokus for about 3 years now and have discovered that they make the games section easier and dare I say FUN. I have taken 4 timed practice lsat test and have scored nearly perfect every time missing only 1 or 2 on each test. </p>
<p>The best advice that I have received, that you are already aware of, is to make a diagram. Keep it simply. Don’t write out the entire name of a person that is listed in the prompt. Abbreviate. Mary, Paul, Sam, Tom -> M,P,S,T. If it say Mary came b4 Sam, Sam can’t be next to Paul -> M-S, S x P. Or just get used to creating abbreviations that are simple quick and easy to understand. After you make these notes you will be able to elimate most of the incorrect choices very fast. Good Luck</p>
