Covering Logic Games: Sample Problem: Limited Options: Blocs of Entities Exactly four medical training sessions—M, O, R, S—will be scheduled for four consecutive days—day 1 through day 4—one session each day. Six professionals—three nurses and three psychologists—will teach the sessions. The nurses are Fine, Johnson, and Leopold; the psychologists are Tyler, Vitale, and Wong. Each session will be taught by exactly one nurse and exactly one psychologist. The schedule must conform to the following conditions: Each professional teaches at least once. Day 3 is a day on which Leopold teaches. Neither Fine not Leopold teaches with Tyler. Johnson teaches session S only. Session M is taught on the day after the day on which session S is taught. Setup: Important to recognize what kind of problem is presented so you can know how to go about setting up the problem to solve it as efficiently as possible. Sketch: Have a basic set up completed before trying to solve. Then look at the RULES Deduction time! (it takes time to set up but it is well worth it for the exam in tackling the questions) Go to the Questions! Start eliminating choices! Logical Reasoning makes up 1/3 of your score!
