Diagram Space on the Actual LSAT

[Mark83]

Hi there,

I've been doing some of the logic games in the game type training sections (I photo copy them rather than writing on the book). In the instructions it's advised to do the hypotheticals right beside the specific questions, but at least in the book version of these game sets, there is sometimes no room to write the local hypotheticals because the questions are so close together.

Will this also be the case in some game sets during the actual LSAT or will there be more room than shown in the book, and if not, how do we work around this issue because having to draw the local hypotheticals further away from the actual question can be both confusing at times as well as time consuming as your eyes move back and forth across the page. Thanks.

Hi Mark,

The questions are packed tight, but they are across the top of two pages, so you have plenty of room, but you do not have that room immediately next to the questions. That's always been the case as far as limited room right around the questions, and what I personally do is write the info near the questions when I can, but then write it below the questions if I need more room. You can do that or simply write it all below the questions, but with that latter approach you will be forced to deal with the "eye travel" problem more frequently.

The situation improved several years ago when they changed the format from one page to two pages, but as far as room immediately around the questions, the situation is still the same.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!
