Hi! I'm having trouble with this game especially questions 4 & 6. Could someone explain the answers? Thank you in advance!

Sure. I'd be happy to. I've posted the setup and solutions for questions 4 and 6. If you still have any questions, please let me know!

I've seen this game categorized as "rare" by test prep companies, but this game is a great example of something super ordinary with a "scary" twist: it's a simple, unbalanced linear game with letters as the base with inherent order instead of numbers. The test makers were smart to use a twist like this: why not replace the ordinary 6 consecutive numbered positions with 6 consecutive letter grades? Great stuff. I haven't seen them do this anywhere else in LSAT history but I wouldn't be surprised if it's out there or if they do it again.

Is it possible to repost this diagram? The attached PDF looks like the first couple of pages is missing.

Thanks!

Sure thing, Barb! Here's how I did it: [url]https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Unp-kFM5_QsHF9rO1qWc2t3uQzqn9zvRnZar6CHh9g/edit?usp=sharing

Hope this helps. What a tough game! Not too bad conceptually but it was NOT quick in the way I would've expected it to be, so if it took you a while don't stress!

Thanks Laura!

So your setup is a basic ordering setup that requires a bit of a zig zag?

I found it hard to picture because "consecutive" seemed so ambiguous. Consecutively ordered on a report card?

The scoring scale for PT 5 was very generous... maybe because of this game...

Cheers!
