Analytical Reasoning questions constitute a large portion of both the GRE and LSAT. These questions account for about 25% of the general GRE (80% of the analytical score) and about 25% of the LSAT.
Analytical Reasoning questions are more difficult for most examinees than any other question type. This is due primarily to the fact that they are presented in a unique format a series of puzzles or logic games which is completely unfamiliar to examinees and which requires a unique methodology.
More than for any other exam section, you can improve your performance on these questions by learning and practicing specific techniques. Every logic game falls into one of several basic patterns or game types. You can learn to recognize each type of game by examining several games of the same type. Each game type calls for its own unique diagramming approach; by learning each diagramming approach and applying it over and over again, you will notice a substantial improvement in your ability to answer these questions correctly. .
