Provides guidance on preparation and diagramming: read the scenario, scan rules, identify the game type, list elements, and draw position slots. Includes discussion of common question types and multiple practice prompts with swimmer and runner scenarios to illustrate inference and answer-choice logic.","Chap s  \nBasic Ordering  \nIn This Chapter…  \nOrdering Basic Ordering  \nPicturing Basic Ordering Games Basic Ordering Rules Inferences  \nThe Big Pause Inferences in the Questions  \nQuestion Type Spotlight: Orientation and Standard Questions  \nConclusion  \nPractice Game 1: PT32, S3, G3  \nPractice Game 2: PT19, S1, G1  \nBasic Ordering Chapter 2  \nAs of PrepTest 66, the June 2012 LSAT, Logic Games have been printed on two pages. This leaves you with lots of space for drawing your diagram. To save space, we’ve printed all games on one page, so feel free to grab a blank sheet of paper for each game to enjoy the extra space you’ll see on test day.  \nGetting Familiar  \nYou’re probably wondering why we’re throwing a game at you when we haven’t taught you much of anything. No matter how much you prepare for the LSAT, there are going to be some unexpected curves on your test. One way we’ll train you is by throwing curveballs at you from time to time—like a timed trial you’re not ready for! Do your best to complete the following game in 8 minutes or less. Use whatever approaches you see fit.  \n2  \nExactly seven swimmers—Hewitt, James, Kopov, Luis, Markson, Nu, and Price—will race in the 50-meter freestyle event. Each swimmer will swim in exactly one of seven lanes, numbered 1 through 7. No two swimmers share the same lane. Lane assignments comply with the following conditions:  \nJames swims in a lower-numbered lane than Kopov. Nu swims in either the first lane or the seventh lane.  \nMarkson swims in a lane numbered two lower than Price’s.  \nHewitt swims in lane 4.  \n1. Which of the following could be an accurate list of swimmers, listed in order from lane 1 through lane 7?  \n(A) Nu, Luis, James, Kopov, Markson, Hewitt, Price  \n(B) James, Luis, Markson, Hewitt, Price, Kopov, Nu  \n(C) Nu, Kopov, Markson, Hewitt, Price, James, Luis  \n(D) Luis, Markson, James, Hewitt, Price, Kopov, Nu  \n(E) Markson, Nu, Price, Hewitt, James, Luis, Kopov  \n2. Which one of the following must be false?  \n(A) Price swims in lane 5.  \n(B) Price swims in lane 7.  \n(C) Markson swims in lane 2.  \n(D) Kopov swims in lane 3.  \n(E) James swims in lane 6.  \n3. If James swims in lane 1, then each of the following could be true EXCEPT:  \n(A) Kopov swims in a lower-numbered lane than Hewitt.  \n(B) Luis swims in a lower-numbered lane than Hewitt.  \n(C) Markson swims in a higher-numbered lane than Hewitt.  \n(D) Kopov swims in a lower-numbered lane than Price.  \n(E) Luis swims in a lower-numbered lane than Markson.  \n4. If Price swims in lane 3, which one of the following could be true?  \n(A) Kopov swims in lane 2.  \n(B) James swims in lane 6.  \n(C) Luis swims in lane 2.  \n(D) Nu swims in lane 1.  \n(E) Kopov swims in lane 7.  \n5. Which of the following could be a partial and accurate list of swimmers matched with the lanes in which they swim?  \n(A) lane 1: Nu; lane 2: Markson; lane 6: Luis  \n(B) lane 5: James; lane 6: Kopov; lane 7: Luis  \n(C) lane 3: Luis; lane 4: Hewitt; lane 5: James  \n(D) lane 4: Hewitt; lane 5: Luis; lane 7: Kopov  \n(E) lane 2: James; lane 5: Markson; lane 6: Kopov  \nWe will revisit this game later in the chapter. We promise.  \n23  \nChapter 2 Basic Ordering  \n2  \nOrdering  \n\n| Order is the most common means by which the LSAT writers assign elements to positions. Nearly twothirds ofLSAT games require you to order elements. This is a big topic!\u003Cbr>Ordering games come in several flavors. In the following chapters, we will go into great detail about each of these variations, and suggest specific strategies for each of them. In this chapter, we will lay the groundwork for the entire Ordering Family of games by discussing Basic Ordering games. We’re also going to discuss the two most common question types you’re going to face.\u003Cbr>Basic Ordering |\n| --- |\n| It’s usually smart to define things by their characteristics, but Basic Ordering games are best defined by what they don’t have: Basic Ordering games do not involve subsets ofthe elements or positions, and th","cbCaihv6GgDCraaU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihv6GgDCraaU","pdf",3474414,2,1,26,"English","en",105,"# Basic Ordering\n## In This Chapter\n## Ordering Basic Ordering Games Basic Ordering Rules Inferences\n## The Big Pause Inferences in the Questions\n## Question Type Spotlight: Orientation and Standard Questions\n## Practice Game 1: PT32, S3, G3\n## Practice Game 2: PT19, S1, G1\n## Basic Ordering Chapter 2\n## Getting Familiar\n## Ordering Fundamentals and Diagram Setup","[{\"question\":\"What defines a Basic Ordering game on the LSAT?\",\"answer\":\"Basic Ordering games require ordering elements into positions, and they avoid subset-based elements and position mismatches.
