Should I replace goal of -0 for LG with goal of -1 for each RC and LR? Forum

[RSolano]

I always read that logic games was the most learnable and predictable section that you should eventually reach -0 on consistently. But after the LG bible, tons of drills and now starting trainer I'm still no where near! Averaging 167 with -5 to -8 on LG, it almost seems more likely that I'd reach near perfect on LR and Rc now If I focus on speed and focus. Taking September exam. Advice?

LG makes me so nervous because no matter how many I do I still occasionally have a single game totally ruin a section (ie PT 77 logic game 3). One girl on 7 sage said that game singlehandedly was the reason she delayed her law school apps a year lol what to do?!

Goal priority focus may help you. You seem to have this thought that you can only do one of these two things.

Stop complaining about games and learn them. Keep practicing. Do them over and over. I could teach a 10 year old child how to go -0 on games if they wanted to work at it.

Stop complaining and focus on learning.

Some thoughts here:

1. I agree logic games offer the most opportunity for growth but points are points. If you can get more points by applying more resources to LR/RC then do that.

2. Even if you are perfect on all known logic games you still could face an unexpected game on the day of the exam. I took June 14 and faced that crazy game 4 which was totally off the wall. If you don't have unlimited time, don't neglect LR/RC to get to -0 on known logic games because there could be an unknown. That said - hopefully you'll have the time you can put real effort into everything and don't have to choose.

Lets hope six weeks is enough for at least one of the two if not both!

FWIW all of my gains in games came during two separate "breakthroughs". The first came about a month into my studies when I stopped going -10+, and the second didn't come until about 3 weeks before I took the test, which put me at -0/-1 on most PTs. It took months of drilling and 7sage review but things just clicked one day and I never really looked back (except for going -2 on the June test due to a stupid mistake). Odds are if you keep drilling games you will see your breakthrough before September.

That's helpful to know thank you!
