What can I do if I am struggling with LSAT logic games to increase my score on the logic games section of the LSAT? Struggling with LSAT logic games is quite common, especially for those who haven’t prepared sufficiently for the LG section. However, most test-takers find that they are able to improve their LSAT logic games score more easily then any other section of the LSAT.

I found the lsat reading comprehension section to be the most difficult to improve. Since reading comprehension essentially tests how well you can quickly read and retain information, which is a skill that you have spent your entire life learning, I thought it was tougher to re-learn ‘how to read’ for the LSAT. The Logic Games section of the LSAT, on the other hand, is VERY learnable.

What is the best order to work on the Logical Reasoning section of the LSAT? The LSAT Logical Reasoning questions start off easy, so you get a chance to warm up before you run into the difficult questions that always seem to appear after question 12 or so. I never felt that there was any benefit to be gained from jumping around the section. If anything, skipping around this section will hurt your bubbling accuracy. Just understand that the difficult questions appear in the second half of the section, and move through the first half with appropriate speed.
