Logic Games on the LSAT
What Are Logic Games?
The Analytical Reasoning section of the LSAT, more commonly called Logic Games, tests your ability to organize individual elements according to a given set of rules. Every logic game is comprised of three parts:
1. The scenario introduces the elements, usually people's names or letters representing objects, and provides the context in which the elements are to be organized:
On Monday, seven trains--F, G, H, J, K, M, and N--leave Rivertown Station consecutively and one at a time. No other trains leave the station on Monday.
2. The constraints, or rules, impose limitations on the relationships between and among the elements.
For example:
Train J is the first or the seventh train to leave the station.
Train H leaves the station before M, and exactly two trains leave the station between H and M.
Train N leaves the station either immediately before or immediately after train M.
Train K leaves the station third.
3. The questions ask you to make inferences based on your understanding of the scenario and the constraints. Each game will have 5-7 associated questions.
Here's an example:
If train H leaves the station first, then which one of the following must be true?
(A) Train F leaves the station second.
(B) Train F leaves the station sixth.
(C) Train M leaves the station fifth.
(D) Train N leaves the station fifth.
(E) Train G leaves the station second.
We'll come back to this question later. For now, know that you can count on every logic game having a scenario, a set ofconstraints, and 5-7 associated questions.
