Does the LSAT Repeat Previous Logic Games Questions?

The LSAT dropped Logic Games in August 2024, so you won't face one on test day anymore. This page stays up as an archive: a list of Logic Games that reappeared, with new names and wording, across different PrepTests, useful if you're still working through old LSAT PrepTests for reasoning practice.

Studying for the current test? Since Logic Games came off the LSAT in August 2024, a second scored Logical Reasoning section took its place, which means LR is now 2 of your 3 scored sections. I wrote a free 6-page brief on what changed, what your old prep book is still good for (roughly half of it) and what to do this week: the LSAT format brief.

Note: the LSAT no longer has Logic Games. LSAC removed the section in August 2024. The scored test is now 2 Logical Reasoning sections and 1 Reading Comprehension section, plus 1 unscored experimental section. This post stays up as an archive, and the reasoning skills still carry over, but you won’t see a game on test day.

Does the LSAT repeat questions from previous tests?

Yes and no. You will not see questions repeated word-for-word. That would be too easy. However, you may see games that feature extremely similar methods of reasoning - sometimes only with small changes to the rules and variables. Although the games aren't identical, they're extremely similar.
You know you've been tutoring the LSAT for too long when you notice these things.
In horror movies, the teenagers are frightened (understandably) when their enemy rises from the dead. Luckily, the LSAT is not a horror movie. If you're lucky enough to recognize your enemy on test day, you'll have the tools to defeat it.
(For you new folks, PrepTests are previously-administered LSAT exams.)
