[blindlaw] diagrams for lsat

[Locke Milholland]

I have two suggestions.
option 1. In middle school (note my blindness did not begin until college), 
we would work logic puzzles.  They were similar to the LSAT games section; 
however, we did not draw pictures.  We drew grids.  I would need a specific 
puzzle in order to formulate a grid off of it for an example, but the jist 
was to shade out portions of the grid using the logic statements and end up 
with a series of blanks that gave the answer.  This could be accomplished 
with an excel spreadsheet.

Option 2.

I took the lsat with a reader and no computer.  I had to work the puzzles 
from memory.  I practiced by watching Jeopardy every night.  Instead of 
concentrating on the answers and questions, I concentrated on the 
categories, the dollar value, and the players.  I tried to remember which 
contestant answered which specific clue correctly.  I correctly completed 
one first jeopardy and one double jeopardy board in my training, but not on 
the same night.

It dramatically improved my short term recall for creating mental pictures 
of the games section.

In the meantime, just practice games and different techniques until you find 
one that works best.
