Struggling with newer LGs

by zainrizvi Sat Nov 19, 2011 9:18 pm

I've done fairly well(0-1 wrong) with LGs from PT 20-50ish... but I find the later games sections (55+) to be incredibly hard. Has there any been significant change in LGs over the years? Or am I just not focusing enough on LG? For the past few months I've been drilling RC and LR, with minimal attention to LG (the day after each PT, I redo the LG section). I've become really frustrated by past two tests as my LG is what is keeping me from achieving high 170s (62 LG: -4 wrong; 60 LG: -3 wrong).

So does anyone have any suggestions how I can improve in the next 2 weeks? I plan on continuing with my current routine of redoing the LG section the next day. I also plan on drilling all LG sections from 55-64 once again. Will that be sufficient?

That sounds like a great plan.

As for trends, I don't focus on that much. The big change happened around the turn of the century. There's perhaps a bit more odd assignment games these days, with fewer up front inferences. But, there are now fewer really rogue games like there were in the 1990s. Regardless, there's not much to do but plug away in a smart way (and bravo on that comment about reviewing and redoing).

I think you'll get back into top form with your plan.
