Is it possible to dramatically increase your LSAT score? Logic Games section is most challenging.Any tips?
Question: Although, my practice LSAT scores on the Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning sections are great; my scores on the Logic games suck, to say the least. My total LSAT score is a 148 and this will Not cut it. I need at least a 155-160 score and need tips on the best way to conquer the Logic Games (Analytical Reasoning). Is it possible to increase the score from a 148 to 155?? If so how? Thanks
Answers: When I started prepping for the LSAT, games was also my handicap, so I know you can definitely improve a lot.
If you need help on logic games, get the following two books:
1. PowerScore's Logic Games Bible
2. Kaplan's LSAT Logic Games Workbook
Also, make sure to do tons of real LSAT tests (from LSAC) or take a prep course. I took a course and jumped my score up significantly. Mostly, you need to learn the right strategies adn then spend tons of time practicing with them.
You can buy logic-puzzle magazines--in the US they are often at supermarket checkout counters, or the magazine sections at drugstores. They can help you practice your reasoning skills, although of course the questions on your LSAT will be worded slightly differently.
You can also take a LSAT-prep class.

Or Google LSAT and follow some of the links. I don't know the LSAT but I teach Japanese students, teachers and businessmen how to prepare for the the TOEIC and TOEFL tests, and I have taken the GRE myself. I like to use Barron's test prep material but there are lots of publishers that make test prep materials, including Barron's, Princeton Review, Kaplan ...
Good luck!
I would say practice practice practice. Your brain is adaptive and will literally grow when needed. This is seen in cabdrivers who have bigger sections for their spacial memory because they need to know the streets of a city. I'm not sure if it's physically bigger or just a lot more connections, either way they have more capacity, and this is applicable elsewhere, you just have to keep at it.
Besides most logic games just require knowing other logic games, so the more you expose yourself the more likely you are to find the answer more easily the next time.
You are almost there! I am sure if you took the test again, you would probably get at least 155. But in the meantime, there are some great software programs out there that you can buy off the shelf or download which help a lot! To give you an example, I took my SAT and ACT scored 139 on the SAT and 19 on the ACT...after I practiced with the programs (they are basically practice tests which are scored and then give you more practice in the areas you need to work on). I scored 24 on the ACT and 152 on the SAT! And get this, the parts of the test that I was weakest in at first, I was strongest in on the 2nd test! If you can find a program like this for the LSAT, don`t hesitate to try it out!
