- What are the three main types of logic games on the LSAT?
Show answer
Sequencing, Grouping, and Matching- What is the first step in setting up any logic game?
Show answer
Identify the game type and list all variables (entities) involved- In a sequencing game, what does a horizontal line with numbered positions represent?
Show answer
The order or linear arrangement of entities from left to right or first to last- What is a 'rule' or 'condition' in an LSAT logic game?
Show answer
A constraint or restriction that limits how variables can be arranged or grouped- How should you diagram a rule that says 'A comes before B' in a sequencing game?
Show answer
Draw an arrow or line showing A to the left of B, or write A...B- What does the word 'immediately' mean in a sequencing game rule?
Show answer
The two entities must be adjacent with no other entities between them- In a grouping game, what is the difference between 'must be together' and 'cannot be together' rules?
Show answer
Must be together requires entities in the same group; cannot be together requires them in different groups- What is a 'local' question in a logic game?
Show answer
A question that introduces a new condition or constraint not stated in the original rules- What is a 'global' question in a logic game?
Show answer
A question that applies only the original rules without introducing new constraints- How do you diagram a conditional rule like 'If A is selected, then B is selected'?
Show answer
Draw an arrow: A → B, showing that A being true forces B to be true- In a matching game, what does 'one-to-one correspondence' mean?
Show answer
Each entity from one group matches with exactly one entity from another group, and no entity is matched twice- What is the 'contrapositive' of a conditional rule, and why does it matter?
Show answer
The contrapositive reverses and negates both parts (if A then B becomes if not B then not A); it is logically equivalent and just as true- What should you do if a rule seems ambiguous or unclear?
Show answer
Consider both interpretations, test each against the questions, and determine which makes logical sense- In a sequencing game with 5 positions, how many entities can occupy them?
Show answer
It depends on the rules; typically one entity per position if there are five distinct entities, but rules may allow fewer or more- What does 'either A or B but not both' mean in a logic game rule?
Show answer
Exactly one of the two options must be true, but not both (exclusive or)
