Score improvement depends on your starting point and commitment, but students typically see 3-7 point increases in this section after focused tutoring. The key is identifying which game types trip you up (sequencing, grouping, matching, etc.) and building a personalized system for diagramming and solving. Consistent practice combined with expert feedback on your approach accelerates progress significantly.

Your first session focuses on assessment and strategy. A tutor will review your current approach to logic games, identify specific weak points (like setup errors or timing issues), and establish a baseline understanding of which game types you find most difficult. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that targets your gaps and builds toward mastery.

Timing improves through three steps: master your diagramming system, practice individual games until you can solve them consistently, then take full timed sections to build speed under pressure. Most students need 40-60 hours of focused practice to reach comfortable pacing. A tutor can help you refine your diagram style, skip difficult games strategically, and develop the confidence to work efficiently.

The LSAT features distinct game categories—linear sequencing, grouping/selection, matching, and hybrid games—each requiring different diagramming approaches. Most students perform better on some types than others, so targeted practice on your weaker game types is essential. Expert tutors help you recognize game patterns quickly and apply the right diagramming method for each one.

You should complete full LSAT practice tests (which include Analytical Reasoning sections) as part of your overall prep, ideally 15-20 tests total. However, for Analytical Reasoning specifically, drilling individual games and timed sections is more effective than full tests alone. A tutor can help you structure practice strategically—drilling weak game types first, then building stamina with timed sections and full tests.

Test anxiety on logic games often stems from uncertainty about your approach or fear of running out of time. Building confidence through consistent, successful practice is the best remedy. Tutors also teach strategic techniques like identifying which games to attempt first, when to skip a difficult game, and how to manage your mental state under pressure—skills that reduce anxiety significantly on test day.
