Does anyone know of a good study guide or have tips for the DLAB?

SFC Thibault,

I used the pamphlet that the Ed center had on hand. It helped out a bit, but it was just kind of a guideline. My tip is to be patient and really pay attention. I got irritated towards the end and just picked an answer. Eventually it all started to look and sound the same. It is a made up language after all! Best of luck with the test!

Try to go in with as open mind as possible. The last part of the test is what I found to be the most difficult. There is no rhyme or reason to this test, its complete gibberish and will take no prisoners trying to confuse you. wishing you luck though.

These are what I used: http://lingclub.mycpanel.princeton.edu/challenge/puzzles.php

There's not really a "study guide" per se, since it's about how well you can adapt to different linguistic situations. Study English grammar rules and practice the linguist challenges, and you'll be fine.

I actually enjoyed the DLAB, though I left with a knotted stomach and headache. I would recommend getting those books of logic puzzles. I did those for fun and realized that the DLAB was just a high pressure version of it. It got me a 124.
