In this lesson you used tables to organize the information presented in a situation. Tables help you keep track of how pieces of information are related to one another. Logic grids can also manage large amounts of information.


The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is a standardized exam that measures the aptitude of law-school applicants. In addition to reading comprehension and writing, the exam has an analytical reasoning section in which students solve logic problems. This section checks the ability to synthesize information, construct sound arguments, and draw logical conclusions.
