Got it correct! Narrowed it down to two answers and then reread the conclusion and then picked the one! I spent a little long but I rather take my time to get it right then build speed!
I got it right, but timing has been my biggest challenge. Learning that the stem has a clear mission and how to attack the stimulus with the stem, has significantly improved my time! It eliminates all of the unnecessary things that I shouldn't be thinking about.
@ChelsiSmith I totally agree with this. I am definitely moving faster on these questions than I was previously. Once you spot that conclusion I immediately start going through which answers match that.
I chose my answer too fast based on seeing A's "insincere" wordage. I now see D is the correct answer because it acknowledges the conclusion and the previous sentence's info which leads up to it.
The grammar messed me up ahaha. I got the correct answer in the end, however it took me so long to get there and understand what the stimulus was trying to convey. For me, it's easy to get caught up in irrelevant details or formal language in certain stimuli...
I got it right. but I went 25 seconds over time. I think my biggest struggle I am consistently running into is time, and I hope I get some tips on this or it gets better naturally as I go on. For this one I was confident in my answer as soon as I saw it, but the verbal complexity of the stem and answer choices significantly slows me down in even getting to the answer choice I view as correct.
@GordonGianadda Hoping for more tips as well! Timing and confidence I had too but then I tend to read the other choices fully. I hope that as we continue to drill and practice we just know immediately what the answer choice is without having to go through the other answers or focus on the verbal language.
@sapalmeri Also, the wording, D says "is being insincere," making an assertion. A only says "should be regarded as insincere." The political scientist doesn't explicitly say people should regard differently.
I fully understood the stim and I got the question correct, however I found the explanation to be confusing and not really applicable given the time constraints of the LSAT. I think it would be really beneficial if you posted a video explaining your thought process of the question under standard time constraints, rather than posting a 8 minute in-depth explanation video
Something I am trying to wrap my head around is the little amount of time we will have on the Lsat to think through these questions and answer them when in the explanation videos it can take 5-10 minutes to explain the question and answers. Now granted, the explanation videos are going in depth to help us understand but I am wondering how were supposed to look at this question and comprehend all of the things discuss in the video within 2 ish minutes on the lsat. Sigh

the question was too easy I spent more time than I should have because I felt like it is too good to be true
this question make anyone else think about love island lol
@anniesuszek bro me
@anniesuszek LOLLL!!!
Correct in two minutes!
i was 3 mins overtime but i got it right on my regular and br attempt
A main conclusion question has NOTHING on me.

@josephlidd22 same, looking for strategies to not get caught up by the grammar

I was stuck between A and D, and ultimately chose D because of the use of "a politician" instead of A's "people"
@sapalmeri I had a similar thought process

I definitely thought too deep into this... the answer was my original choice but it seemed too simple. Got it for BR :)

These conclusion questions are butter

(got the question right so that's a plus)
this one was def a bit trickier but as I relied on the pattern of the Q and indicators it def helped me get the right answer within the right time
22 seconds to spare !!! :D
Got it right, on the first try, and I was lost as mentioned, not truly understand the passage however I did pick up on the pattern.
Got it right but second guessed myself in the blind review 😭
and here i was feeling guilty for always skipping through long stims when i know they only want the conclusion
got it right w +00:56 seconds we're getting faster! yay!
Just one question. Would answer choice "C" be a good answer choice for a strengthening argument in a way compared to other answer choices?
Got it right but timing sux
-0.07 seconds on timing and got it right woohoo!
I might have actually managed to learn something, about 30 hours into the course.
@thr107 I am starting to feel the same!
