Not so fast.  Fully 75% of the LSAT (the Law School Aptitude Test),
which has pretty decent correlations, is comprised of items virtually
identical to the logical reasoning and analytical "games" items
in the GRE Analytical.  The LSAT consists of four scored sections -
one reading comprehension, two logical reasoning sections, and
one analytical section.  If you bombed the GRE Analytical Section,
I hope you're not taking the LSAT any time soon.
