Onward through Game Three of the June 2007 LSAT. Here’s our setup for this Game.

Question #12 says “Which one of the following CANNOT be true about Freedom‘s schedule of voyages?” So the question is telling us that the four incorrect answers could be true. The single, correct answer must be false.

There’s really no way to predict this one in advance, because I haven’t been given any new information to work with. Instead, I’m just going to tackle the answer choices and see which one seems like it would be a problem.
 

The best example of "problem" you can find when you're too cheap to pay for stock photography.

In my last post I created a setup for the third Game in the  June 2007 LSAT. I didn’t make any huge brilliant inferences, but that’s okay… I don’t need to crush every game in order to finish four games in 35 minutes. I did crush Game 1, and I did well on Game 2. So if Game 3 ends up taking me a little longer, that’s okay. I have plenty of time in the bank.

Question 11 is a list question, which will enable me to check to make sure I understand all the rules properly. What I’m going to do here is test all the rules, in order, to eliminate answer choices. After testing all the rules, if I’ve done it correctly, I should be left with one and only one answer. If I am left with two answers, or if I eliminate all five answers, then that means I don’t understand something properly. So I’m going to use this question to my advantage, to doublecheck that I’m on the right track.

Onward with the most learnable section of the LSAT–the Logic Games. Take a couple deep breaths if this section is currently causing you panic. Everyone can improve on this section. Yes, it’s the most frequently tanked section. But it’s also the most frequently crushed section. I recently had a student get three questions correct on the Logic Games on her first diagnostic LSAT–and by the end of the 8-week class, the student was scoring perfectly (22 to 24 questions correct). It’s simply not possible to improve by 20 points on any other section. It’ll take some practice, but the payoff will be huge. We can do this.

Also: Don’t try to run before you can walk. The earlier games in any section tend to be the easier games. So before you tackle Game 3, you probably want to make sure you understand Game 1 and Game 2.
