LSAT Line Games Made Simple: Step-by-Step with Advise-In Solutions

[@franthomas23]

This this the first video I've seen where the instructor solves the entire question in appropriate LSAT time, with clarity. Just shows how easy it can be.

[@AbuAdam2002]

12 years later and I'm here benefiting from this knowledge. Sir you are awsome if you happen to see this comment hope you have been doing well. I'm just now starting my LSAT prep and im running out of time and the few videos on this channel are more helpful than a full course. whish there were more videos posted!

[@spencerallred9990]

I paid money for books that didn't explain it as well as you. Thanks Kyle!

[@TheThomasmbajjwe]

It is so funny I am sitting in a library at Yale watching a video by this brilliant teacher who attended Law School here...He probably went on to spend endless nights in here, too. I am incredibly inspired!

[@treehugger30]

While I didn’t apply this method yet, I believe this video is far more helpful than the big name companies posting advertisements for their books. I learned a lot more here in ten minutes than 80 minutes with their poor tutorial commercials.

[@Jdizzl111]

OMG!! Thank you for this missing piece!!! I am now getting all the analytical questions correct!! ALL OF THEM!!

[@deedgrabber]

You are by far the best teacher in this area I have encountered.

[@AdviseInSolutions]

Appreciate that, Rick. If I can be of further help, please don't hesitate to contact me, contact info at advisein.com

[@francescakale8528]

God bless you Sir! You are really saving us a bunch of rejection letters!!!

[@jesusnevarez7341]

best teacher ive seen. Made me laugh at how easy it is. I really overcomplicate this.

[@ashleywilliams9126]

Oh my goodness. I have been struggling so much with these questions, this is a huge help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@frankwhite4478]

amazing... plus he almost solved it within the prescribed time along with extensive explanations!

[@classyteacherdiva]

Wow! I'm absolutely speechless. Very simple, clearcut, easy-to-follow instructions. Anyone can do this.

[@mictv2010]

This is sooooo refreshing to see…I can understand this totally👍🏽

[@nikkimladenovic6710]

Thank you! The simple and perfect explanation for linear games!

[@bernarditaagyekum5548]

I Have been struggling but I finally get it now! Thank you.

[@luffyd.monkey7171]

absolutely fantastic. Best explanation of logic games diagramming I have seen in a video, so helpful to learn about diagramming all the possible outcomes at the outset

[@Caribbean_King]

Great video

[@EvanLevow]

Excellent advice to write these down. It makes the entire process much simpler.

[@juancarrillo1278]

At 3:48, when he states the first question, "If G is played second..." sets up the _GLOP_ _ order (with G and P being reversible) that he uses throughtout the rest of the exercise.

[@surpriseimblack]

OMG GOD BLESS YOU SIR!!! YOU'VE SERIOUSLY CHANGED MY LIFE!!! IS THERE A BOOK YOU USE?

[@hannahjackson8782]

Perfect explanation! It was very helpful!

[@AdviseInSolutions]

Good to hear!

[@found_theplace]

Oh my word, thank you! This is so much Better than looking at a diagram in the book!

[@elle9633]

You are amazing! Thank you.

[@GainingOne]

Really helpful (although I struggle coming up with usable diagrams like this one at the very beginning with the non linear puzzles).

[@tomcotter4299]

I’m sure this advice is too late. But if you’re struggling to see how to even begin diagramming something, look at the answer choices. There’s usually a “which could be the correct grouping/order/etc” question. See how that question lays out the answers. That’s a hint.

[@foxomatic1]

This was very helpful but seemingly more simplistic that the line game questions I'm tackling in my practice materials. I have a letter sequence that gives conditions such as "If G comes before H, then K and L come after J" and "If H comes before G, J and L come after K." These ones shred my brain :( Would love some examples of working though more complex problems!

[@AdviseInSolutions]

Happy to talk about these, there is a straightforward way of making sense of them. They are a line game where you have relative positions but no absolute position. You can write me at info@advisein or call 212-249-2718.

[@soy.ingrid]

Thank you!! How many hours a day would you recommend for someone taking the LSAT in three months!

[@pedroinfante7575]

When do you know that 4 diagrams must be used?

[@auroramothergoddess]

can you please make new videos I desperately need you in 2022 good sir!

[@KyriaLovesApologetics]

Thanks!!! That was beyond helpful!

[@thealmassi1]

You're the best LSAT helper I've encountered, but I go to U of Toronto in Canada. Is there any way of obtaining help from you (beyond KZbin) here?

[@ashleyfalk9550]

Why am I having trouble understanding why LO cannot go between G/P in diagrams A and C, if N could fit in afterwards?

[@Ragglerrrr]

They can, the reason why he wrote LO in spaces 3 and 4 is diagram B is because LO need N at some point after them, and in the condition to make diagram B the letters LO MUST be between G and P because those are the only consecutive spaces that allow N to be after them later. This is not applicable to graphs A and C because there are several different possibilities for LO to be placed because there are more consecutive spaces available that allow the LO-N rule to exist.

[@funnybunnyissofunny2]

must be a 76ers fan

[@jasonlou2013S]

Thank you professor!

[@EddieStyle]

It was a great video!

[@meredithcampos5855]

Bravo, prof.

[@javb2011]

I’m still confused. It would be easier if it was drawn out and the questions are being read.

[@Cliffy_jr]

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

[@AdviseInSolutions]

You're welcome--please feel free to contact me for further assistance.

[@heyitsuhmm]

Does one have to master the rules of inference for the LSAT?Do we use them in answering logic questions, like the truth table?Coz I really don't get the concept of truth tables. But I've been practicing and so far I can answer by using the line/grid method. So when will you apply the truth table in LSAT?Thank you!:)

[@GoodCovfefe]

Thank you.

[@imaginaryXreal]

You are awesome!

[@eMuleDownload]

Great advice.

[@hectorcebreros2528]

Great stuff but can someone explain why LO goes on the third? For the life of me, i Can’t figure out why it can’t go on the first one as well

[@madelinefraser9323]

LO just has to go somewhere before N, and in the first option it could go in between G and P in spots 2 and 3, OR in spots 5 and 6.

[@cathyedwards2844]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@tabenah]

Excellent!

[@HighClassHuman]

Great video! Thank you.

[@heathercj411]

I've spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out question #1 and why LO can't go in to ANY of the scenarios. I understand the question is asking "If G is second", but he places LO in between G and P before even reading the question, saying that is the only place they can go. Why can't they go in any other diagram? The rules are they have to be together, and that N has to follow at some point. It can in any of the diagrams. Help!

[@CS-pf7ke]

You are not alone in being confused here. I think part of the difficulty is that it is only being presented verbally. If this question were on paper, you could annotate the question. Here is the synopsis of the question: Seven consecutive time slots for a broadcast, numbered in chronological order 1 through 7, will be filled by six song tapes-G, H, L, O, P, S-and exactly one news tape. Each tape is to be assigned to a different time slot, and no tape is longer than any other tape. The broadcast is subject to the following restrictions: L must be played immediately before O. The news tape must be played at some time after L. There must be exactly two time slots between G and P, regardless of whether G comes before P or whether G comes after P.

[@CS-pf7ke]

Pattern"B" from the presenter is the only one that puts G in the second position (_ G _ _ _ _). And since we know either G _ _ P or P _ _ G is true, we can update our solution to _ G _ _ P _ . Here is the confusing part. We know that O must come _*_immediately_*_ after L, but we also know N has to come sometime after L. According to Pattern B, there is only one possibility for this. If we put L and O in positions 5 and 6, there is no room for N. So, L and O must be at 3 and 4 (_ G L O _ _), which means L must be third. (For additional clarity, according to Rule 2, the news must come in position 5 or 6, but according to Rule 3 (G _ _ P), N must be 6th. The only way this can work is if L and O fit into 3 and 4).

[@nelson3300]

Honestly you just have to write these out and fill in the blanks... Its like basic programming, meet the set conditions to that it functions. draw.. it.. out...

[@shychameleon]

Thank you😉

[@latereality]

wait a minute, I cant seem to work out why 'LO' can only fit into diagram B. To me it seems it can also fit into diagram C. 'L must come immediately before O, and N must follow sometime after L'; so doesn't this mean that 'sometime after' could also mean in the final position? I appreciate any guidance or explanation anybody can offer me here...

[@damianmensch8224]

It is not that it LO an only fit into diagram B, they can fit in C too. However, in diagram B you know that LO for sure have to be in those spots, they can not go anywhere's else. Hope this helps.

[@CS-pf7ke]

He answered this preemptively at 3:11.

[@siddarthasiddatha294]

Are all the other diagrams this easy?

[@LorrellWilliams]

AWESOME!

[@truthadjustr]

These are mild forms of thought processes that goes into the calculations of a chess player when evaluating a position and what to move next.

[@chandlerszydlowski1512]

I'm still having a difficult time understanding why LO can only fit in between G and P in diagram B. I understand that N needs to come SOMETIME after LO but it doesn't specially say when after? Why couldn't LO also go between the G and P in diagram A?

[@TacticalOps22]

Chandler Szydlowski LO could go between G and P in diagram A. The reason he put them there in B specifically is because that’s the only way they can go. He didn’t do the same thing with A because LO could also go after G-P. It’s been two months but hope it helps.

[@kllycolorado6500]

Thank you

[@loo2400]

I don't get the last question.

[@rachelsega4305]

For Question 5, isn't the max number of slots that separate S from N equal to 4 because H and S have to be as far apart as possible?

[@SilverBreath25]

no the question refers to the original diagram where h and s are 4 away

[@newday2310]

Johnson Weld 2016 Why wouldn't diagram C work? S,H,G,L,O,P,N. Am I missing something with H and S?

[@22sdilly]

ok so why could l o only be on B. no could follow on a few other ones... gr

[@UnbiasedSportsFan]

yes.

[@feeltheillinois]

wait this guy scored 180 on the lsat????? i hate myself lol

[@reelvets]

You say L&O must me where they are in diagram B, but why? None of the rules said it has to be there only that they have to be consecutive and N must follow sometime.

[@swimmer9985]

Because in diagram B there is not enough space anywhere else in the diagram for L & O to be next to each other and still have N after them

[@AdviseInSolutions]

Right, excellent. This is why determining the implications of the rules is so important, not merely rushing into the questions after you've written down the base rules.

[@Esmittyfasho]

AdviseInSolutions I don't understand. In diagram A, you could put LO between G and P with N anywhere after. In diagram C, you could put LO before G or after G. In diagram D, you could put LO in any of the spots before G. My main question is then, how are you reasoning for LO in diagram B?

[@Esmittyfasho]

Never I don't. I understand now

[@jasminjiinx]

Im having trouble understanding this part of the question too, because Im thinking the same as Erik. Why is LO in diagram B? Thanks

[@ryanfrizzell736]

^

[@Mo0odz112]

(C) can be : S H G L O P N

[@franjlo]

huh?

[@andrea-th5sg]

I have been struggling so much to find a way to diagram logic games that makes sense to me. This is the first video ive seen explained this way and I LOVE it and understand it, thank you so much for sharing this, I appreciate it so much 🤍

[@OSNLebuna]

thank you
