Introduction to LSAT Logic Games

What Are Logic Games?

LSAT Logic Games, also known as Analytical Reasoning, are puzzle-like scenarios that test your ability to understand systems of relationships and draw logical conclusions. They make up one section of the LSAT and challenge you to organize information, make deductions, and answer questions based on rules.

Types of Logic Games

Logic Games usually come in four main types:

  • Sequencing (ordering items)
  • Grouping (sorting items into groups)
  • Matching (pairing items from different categories)
  • Hybrid (a mix of types)

Why Are They Important?

These games are not just about logic—they help law schools see how well you break down complex problems and think critically, which are essential skills for lawyers.

Structure of a Logic Game

  • Scenario: The set-up or story.
  • Rules: The conditions you must follow.
  • Questions: What you must answer using the scenario and rules.

Examples

  • Arranging seven books on a shelf in a particular order based on given rules.

  • Assigning students to different study groups according to specific conditions.
