Got it right in 4:43. It feels great, but I realize I wasted time.
I chose answer A within 2 minutes, but continued to diagram out. Looking back, and considering the time pressure of the LSAT, I'm thinking if I spot a right answer I should move on immediately.
Is this wise, or does this increase my chance of making a stupid mistake?
I understood "if" as it could happen but might not, so chose a...why I did that I have no idea considering all the lessons have stated simply if-then, but I understand now. Hoping I won't have to draw everything out every time so I can get faster :)
got it with -50s! got lucky with the order of ACs i think. only looked at A and didn’t need to see the others because A must be true.
this one’s quick because once you picture the chain, negating the necessary condition on the far right negates everything before it, which is what makes A true without even considering what the statement actually means.
for timed tests like this, these questions need to be answered without investing as much in understanding the content. so doing a sort of ignorant logic, mental chaining, and reading answers against that mental image is a good way to save time.
Struggled again because I applied my own logic (aka "Why can't inspired musical performances and sophisticated listeners be independent?"). Need to learn to take what is stated as truth.
Great Question with tricky answers. Made me 2nd guess myself, but often I'm finding just building that intuition of the Sufficient --> Necessary chain is the most important. Just knowing how a condition is being treated, and being able to feel when the question swaps it from a sufficient to a necessary condition is helping a lot. Nothing substitutes practice and memorization!
Was 30 seconds over, but got it correct. Although, I have been feeling very confused and frustrated by these concepts, so I am not sure if it was just a lucky get.
I got it right but was 47 secs over. I'm understanding the concept, thanks 7Sage :). But reading the question and all the answer choices takes up a lot of time :(

Got up and danced after getting this right.
I hope that Lawgic becomes more intuitive as it keeps slowing me down
Idk if anyone could relate but I knew why A was correct but not why some of the other ones were incorrect.
33 seconds over this time, better than a whole minute!
Got it correct with only +4!!
got it right but it took me 8.5 minutes so at what cost smh

i got it wrong and i completely understand why now. is it finally clicking??? i hope so
what is the diffenece between answer A and answer E???/?

One thing that has helped me is watching lessons and then drilling SA and NA-type questions! Eventually, it will all make sense.
I'm eating my words now... I guess there is a good reason for Lawgic.

Only took me 10 minutes but I got it
To practice more questions like this one, is there somewhere on 7sage I can practice, or do I need to review the previous lessons?
need to work on speed, but got it right :-)

Took me 17 minutes to solve it but I at least got it right haha
Actually got it right...I might not be cooked
This confuses me because isnt "understand" the sufficient condition to "sophisticated listener"? by the way its stated in the passage
I got the chain and contrapositive chain correct but I need to get better faster reading and translating answer choices.
So you can go left to right, but you can't go right to left? Just double checking
