Score improvement depends on your starting point and consistency, but most students see meaningful gains with focused practice and expert guidance. If you're struggling with specific game types (like sequencing or grouping games), a tutor can help you master those patterns and develop faster, more reliable diagramming methods. Many students improve by 5-10 points on this section alone once they understand the underlying logic and build confidence through repeated practice with feedback.

The biggest mistakes are spending too much time on one game (leaving no time for others), creating overly complicated or unclear diagrams, and not recognizing game patterns early. Students also often struggle with conditional logic and fail to test all possible scenarios before answering questions. A tutor can help you identify which mistakes you're making, teach you cleaner diagramming strategies, and build the pattern recognition skills that separate strong performers from struggling ones.

Your first session focuses on assessment and strategy. A tutor will likely have you work through a logic game or two to understand your current approach, identify where you're losing time or accuracy, and pinpoint which game types give you the most trouble. From there, they'll outline a personalized study plan that targets your weak areas, introduces cleaner diagramming techniques, and builds a realistic timeline based on your test date and current skill level.

Practice tests are essential for building stamina and identifying patterns in your mistakes. Early on, focus on untimed practice to learn game types and refine your diagramming; once you're comfortable with the logic, add time pressure to build speed. After each practice test, review every single game—not just the ones you missed—to understand the logic and find faster solution paths. A tutor can help you analyze your practice test results strategically, pointing out recurring errors and adjusting your approach accordingly.

Timing improves when you develop efficient diagramming habits and learn to recognize game types quickly. Most successful test-takers spend 8-9 minutes per game, which means you need to make quick decisions about which games to tackle first and when to move on if a game isn't clicking. A tutor can teach you how to assess a game's difficulty in the first 30 seconds, prioritize easier games for early points, and use strategic guessing when a game is costing you too much time.

Confidence on Logic Games comes from repetition and mastery—when you've seen dozens of similar games and know exactly how to approach them, the anxiety naturally decreases. Tutoring builds this confidence by giving you a structured learning path, immediate feedback on your approach, and the chance to practice under realistic conditions with someone guiding you. Over time, you'll develop a reliable system you trust, which transforms test day from scary to manageable.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in LSAT prep and have proven success helping students master Logic Games. When you get matched with a tutor, look for someone with strong LSAT scores themselves, experience teaching Analytical Reasoning specifically, and a teaching style that matches how you learn best—whether that's visual diagramming, verbal explanation, or hands-on problem solving. Your tutor should be able to explain not just the answer, but the underlying logic and strategy behind each game type.
