LSAT Logic Games Predictions: December 2017

The December 2017 LSAT is in less than two weeks! Here are out LSAT Logic Games predictions, based on our analysis of previous LSAT PrepTests 72 through 82.

LSAT Logic Games Predictions: December 2017

NOTE: As usual, these predictions are all my own. I have no inside information from LSAC, and came to my conclusions based on examining published PrepTests. You should prepare for every game type that could appear on the LSAT! As shown previously, older games types can always make a reappearance at any time!

One Linear Game

LSAC always tests a basic linear game. So, I’m not going to stop predicting this type of game until they actually do it! As we’ve written previously, you should really focus on linear games during your prep. Not only are they a virtual guarantee to be on the LSAT, mastering them also helps provide a firm foundation for other game types.

Two Grouping Games

Yes, you are reading this right! I think LSAC is going to give two grouping games this administration. On PrepTest 81, you’ll notice there are two linear games, and on PrepTest 82, there are two grouping games. So, LSAC is not adverse to having the same game type multiple times in the same Logic Games section.

I think they will test two grouping games for a couple of reasons. Generally, LSAC doesn’t give multiple linear games in one test (PrepTest 81 being the exception to the rule). Advanced linear games have appeared on the last several PrepTests, so my inclination is they will take a break this time around. That leaves hybrid (see the next section) and grouping. I think it’s more likely LSAC gives two grouping games than anything else.

How these games will be broken down is anyone’s guess. However, I think it’s safe to assume at least one will be a distribution game, since that type has appeared consistently on past PrepTests.

One Hybrid Game

LSAC has not given a true hybrid game since June 2016. I think they’ll bring one back in this administration in place of an advanced linear game. With the exception of a transpositional game, no game type takes more than 3 or 4 tests off. Since a hybrid game last appeared, advanced linear and grouping have appeared consistently. I think advanced linear will bow out this time, and some sort of hybrid game will take it’s place.
