i was breezing through the previous questions and was like give me a hard Q already and then we got a hard Q... i had to take a moment of silence after this one
Got it wrong, then right on BR (but that was after knowing B was wrong and crossing out the others)....I didn't read Waller's statement as a way to disprove that ESP exists, I read it as an imaginative world where "if people had ESP, then clearly they could just show everyone (wrong, he just notes the general public) and they would all believe it" I didn't take that as claiming that this proves ESP doesn't exist, he was just reflecting on what this hypothetical world would be like. I'm usually good at these, but its annoying how often I get them wrong due to something like that.
For those newer to the LSAT, a great way to tackle "Point at Issue" questions is to use the highlighter feature to identify implicit differences between the speakers. The golden rule is that both parties must address the exact same concept for it to qualify as a legitimate disagreement. If Speaker A mentions a specific Topic X, but Speaker B never mentions it, you can be certain that Topic X is not the correct answer. To count as an eligible choice, both speakers must take a clear, opposing stance on whatever is being said.
once it took me over a minute to even understand everything, i stopped my timed approach and decided to just fully grasp it. ended up taking me 4 minutes but we got it right in the end. Hopefully i see something like this again and complete it much faster
"Failure" in D threw me off. It's almost as if it's imposing a Value judgement onto the answer. It would better stated as "the choice of the general public not to believe...".
I want to ask the LSAT tutors whether I can generalize that extreme wording on answer choices are usually wrong. Unless it is explicitly stated in the stimulus. I don't have enough experience with the problems to make a generalization.
see I thought because there was no "supported" in the stem that it was an 'explicit' question-type. Because of that I read the answer choices much differently

Rushed this one, got it very quick on the BR. Surprised to see how hard this question is rated.
had the right answer changed it & then got it on a BR 😆😭

I rushed - need to take my time
i feel like a god for getting this right.
stop I chose A and then C and like legit no one picked those lmao
got this one wrong:( I chose B
I want to punch whoever wrote this question.

@JiyoonLim I'm with you. I usually think the more complicated the answer choice the least likely it's right.
ugh I fell for the trap and picked B
see I thought because there was no "supported" in the stem that it was an 'explicit' question-type. Because of that I read the answer choices much differently
i was down to B & D and chose B at first and in my BR i chose D because i was like wait waller never said anything about skeptics..
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE I'M ON FIREEEE
oh my glob I got it right and under time
It’s strange that I can answer the challenging questions correctly, but I sometimes get the simpler ones wrong.
First one wrong in these practice problems. This one was tricky.
