This guy managed to explain two weeks of another lsat course in 11 minutes, thank you!

"Egbert" was really the first "E" name to come to mind...?

Its kinda funny how many ways I can apply these logic games to every day life.. Planning a party, running errands, paying bills... all sorts of shit. Being able to apply concepts to relative events can really help clarify things!

Jokes on you, the hardest section of the test for me is all of them.

[CadenRolland]

Very very basic beginners stuff. Still 100% true so far.
Best method for success, do hundreds of them! If you were in a sport you'd practice a lot and soon you'd get pretty good. Well this is no different. If you want to shine you gotta polish.

That's another way to do it but it accomplishes exactly the same result but with more pen strokes. Lines take less time and I haven't seen many students run into confusion with them. Keep it simple and consistent. If there's something about the lines that confuses you let me know, I'm happy to talk you through it.

This is very helpful to me because I am a visual thinker and if I can visualize it and record the criteria I can see what I need to do.

hi there! I just want to say a massive thank you for your videos- they truly are useful and serve as a wonderful guide! Sincerely appreciate your time and generosity in uploading them!

Him “your entities are persons, places and things”.
Me: “um, so they’re nouns?” 😂

@CadenRolland You're right, it is basic but a good understanding of the basics is very important as a foundation before you move on to more advanced concepts.
With respect to repetition, it is definitely important but repetition without understanding and good techniques is much less effective.

How on earth do you find the time to graph and diagram as well as answer all the questions in 35 minutes? What strategy do you use just to get through the questions if I may ask?

I've been using another LSAT prep book that claimed to be the best out there and its only made made my brain hurt to try to remember all the rules, and I haven't even finished the section on linear, one-to-one relationship games! I feel like the book is trying to teach me advanced calculus, starting from how to add one plus one. If learning to do logic games takes me as long as it did to learn math, I should have started preparing years earlier. Do you know of simpler methods to solve these games, or do most methods require memorizing so many diagraming rules and set ups and inferences etc. If so then maybe I am just not cut out for the LSAT.

Note, this video only covers Sequencing (order, ranking, etc) games with additional hybrid addons such as matching or distribution. It doesn't cover process logic games or unconventional such are round table/spoke wheel logic games. While the concept of identifying entities and placeholders (sketch) is covered and is paramount to solving games in the allotted time. A fair introduction video.

i wish he would've ran us through a practice question =(. i was really looking forward to it .

[TranceSFX]

I love your approach and clarity, thanks. I'm writing the February 11th LSAT -- nervous as hell :)

[pathss]

Exactly. It is something that someone develops over time, it can't be learned overnight.

[nelson]

I had one problem that had 3 groups, the first and third having 2 places, the second having three. I arranged my diagram as such:
1 2 3
_ _ _
_ _ _
_

Blank lines, just like he said :D So he wasnt necessarily saying to put everything in a linear order, but rather to use lines as the places to mark your characters.

@iamchevyman5 Yes I am Canadian. Notice an accent? And before you ask, yes we take the exact same LSAT as the US.

LOL cracking up about the comments about his appearance. Get in the zone guys!!
