Playing (Mind) Games

I've always been good at Games. Even when I took my first diagnostic tests cold, I noticed that I scored pretty well on the Games section of the LSAT. I'm happy to report now that with my investment in the Logic Games Bible, I've gotten even better at 'em.

Yeah, that's right, games will bow down to me; I own diagramming; diagramming is my bitc--uh, what?

So yeah, this is good news. Still, it is somewhat surprising to the inner core of me, since all my life (up until the end of college/grad school) I was a language arts type of girl. Standardized tests of yore always scored me in the 99th percentile in reading comprehension, etc. However, I can credit my M.S. program for helping me to develop the analytical side of my brain, and thank goodness for it!

When it comes to the left and right sides of the brain, it turns out that bridging the gap is just a matter of learning to think about things in a different way. Even if you've gone most of your life living mostly in one hemisphere or the other, skipping over to the other side isn't as hard as you'd think it would be, if you put your mind to it (arrgh:P).

Once you train your brain to work on the other side of the fence for a change, you learn that there are less differences and more similarities afterall. Think about it, both halves make up YOUR brain, so any way you go about it, you're going to find a way to relate. I guess I'm just saying that you shouldn't let preconceived notions about what you thought were your particular strengths prevent you from branching out into new directions.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't; either way you're right.

Games - Check!
Logical Reasoning - Check!
Reading Comprehension - Check!

This LSAT is mine.

Plus, the June test is being administered at Noon, so there's no pesky need to retrain my brain into functioning at some godforsaken early hour.

Mine!
