The first section of this Logic Games course will teach you how to beat the most common LSAT game type: Ordering Games (also called “Sequencing Games” by Kaplan). The simplest type of these games is called Linear Ordering.
1. Identify Linear Ordering Games
These games require you to arrange a set of subjects by a trait, either from front to back, up to down, or left to right. For example, imagine a group of people standing in line for the theater.
- Who is second from last in line?
- How many people are behind Thomas but in front of Christina?
Or, perhaps you’ll be asked the order of several books on a shelf.
- Is the art book next to the gardening book or the photography book?
- How many books can be to the left of the philosophy book if the drama criticism book is not at either end of the shelf?
Ordering Games can also sequence items by a trait:
- The teacher is measuring seven students by height. Is Julie taller than John?
