Advanced LSAT Logic Games| The Difficult Ones

Broadly speaking, there are exactly four large categories of logic games:

1) Ordering; 

2) Grouping; 

3) Hybrid; 

4) Rare and Miscellaneous. 

Each of these large categories has multiple smaller subcategories:

1) Ordering

- Pure Sequencing (see PrepTest 33, Game 1)

- Linear Ordering (see PrepTest 35, Game 4)

- Advanced Ordering (Stacking/Tiered) (see PrepTest 36, Game 2)

2) Grouping

- In & Out Selection (see PrepTest 33, Game 2)

- Splitting/Division (see PrepTest 49, Game 2)

- Matching (see PrepTest 42, Game 4)

3) Hybrid

- Ordering + In & Out Selection (see PrepTest 32, Game 1)

- Ordering + Splitting/Division (see PrepTest 35, Game 3)

- Ordering + Matching (see PrepTest 38, Game 2)

4) Rare and Miscellaneous

- Circular Games (see PrepTest 41, Game 4)

- Pattern Games (see PrepTest 13, Game 4)

- Mapping Games (see PrepTest 40, Game 3) 

All national test prep companies (i.e., Kaplan, Princeton, TestMasters, PowerScore, etc.) use some variation of the above categories. If you don't know how to attack the above example questions, then you definitely aren't ready for the upcoming October exam - so hold off on taking the exam.
