Making the best use of this test depends on where you are in your LSAT preparation. If you’re just beginning, consider checking out the Logic Games hints to give you a leg up on that section. You may also wish to work on one Logic Game, one Reading Comprehension passage, and three to five Logical Reasoning questions at a time before consulting the explanations. You need not obsess over timing guidelines at this stage, but do stay conscious of roughly how long it takes to work through the questions in each section. Mine the experience, as always, as you build your way toward taking full-length practice tests later.

If you’re in the middle stage of your preparation, read the Logic Games hints only if you’re having trouble with that section, or get stuck on a particular game. Take each section in its entirety and then stop to work through the explanations. Pay attention to our section management tips, and try to adhere to the timing guidelines. It’s okay, however, to give yourself a little extra time to complete a section if necessary.

If you’re in the final stage of your preparation, take all four sections as a simulated testing experience, allowing yourself one 10-minute break in the middle. Try the Logic Games section without reading the hints . (If you still have trouble with the games, you can always try them again later on after checking out the hints.) Strictly observe timing guidelines and do your best to implement the section management strategies.

Okay, it’s go time. Decide which approach works best for you at this stage of the game, and then have at it.
