LSAT Logic Games Vocab

One of the most important tools in your Logic Games toolkit is your vocabulary.

However, getting hung up on what specific words mean can actually get you bogged down in certain places.

The more important thing is to understand what various phrases mean.

Here are some quick tips to help you recognize which type of Logic Game you’re dealing with:
Pure Sequencing, Basic Linear, Advanced Linear

Consecutively / Sequentially / Successively

Not simultaneously, not concurrently, not at the same time

Selection

Splitting

But that’s just the start. There’s A LOT more to cover on top of that.

This is a big topic, so I wrote up a pretty comprehensive article about it right here


I broke it down into 7 parts:

1. Words and phrases that can help you recognize a particular type of game.

2. General tips to help you watch out for linguistic trickery and avoid making unwarranted assumptions.
