I find it easier to work with these type of questions if I just try to understand the stimulus and choose the correct answer based on instinct--instead of writing down all the conditional rules which overcomplicates it for me, so if you're struggling with writing down the rules try the alternative
I'm doomed on this question type, the correct answers are so out of pocket and unexpected--I need to approach this type differently by not overthinking and just choose a choice that looks incorrect because I was sure A was the worst answer choice LOLOLOL
I chose C. I don't know why. I don't know how. I don't even remember reading this question. Now I watch an explanation to a question I was not even mentally present for. I travelled away from space and time, I entered a new realm, a new reality. My earthly body chose C while I was away. Was I abducted by aliens or do I have ADHD?
For anyone that may need help with this kind of question:
When questions are like this P ---> C then the premise will always be the sufficient condition and the conclusion will be the necessary condition.
Because if P is true then the conclusion is true.
If there is ever only 1 premise and 1 conclusion, then the answer will be merely a restatement or a restatement but in the contrapositive. The lsat will try to trick you by using different words.
If I am 90% sure the answer I read (in this case A) is correct, should I bother reading the others? Should I just skim? What's the best approach for maximizing time savings without minimizing accuracy (too much). What's the right balance?
Anyone who has an opinion (and has gotten their time to where it needs to be) please lmk.
I am having the most difficulty with this section and was wondering if anyone had any advice on approaching and answering these questions. I always seem to be one step away from the correct answer, but can't identify the final step to reaching the answer.
I was stuck between A and E, and ended up choosing E bc it talked about general influence. Can someone provide another explanation for why its A and not E. And where you think my thinking likely went wrong?
What confused me the most about this question was what exactly the argument here was in the conclusion. Clearly it's speaking about pleasure in the premises, yet there's no mention of pleasure in the conclusion, only "artistic merit" but by looking in hindsight now, it seems that the conclusion is the fact that artistic merit is derived by the art critic, who doubly so can influence the pleasure, and undermine it as well.
When I struggle with these questions, most of the time it's because I haven't correctly identified the conclusion. Or, I HAVE correctly identified the conclusion, but then my non-7sage brain is like i dont care if that's the conclusion, im going with E. But then when I get my shit together on BR, I end up w the right AC
I narrowed it down to A & E. While it's not always right, I've found that going with my gut has gotten me the right answer 3 of 4 times in those situations.
In other questions there is a quick view button that turns the question into a pdf we can access with our email and print. I don't see it for these last few questions. Is there another way to print without a weird formatting? #feedback

I picked B because I'm a pompous asshole
I BR'ed A because it's the only one that makes sense lol
Finally got one right in this lesson. Party at my house!
Also, I have to remember to focus on the Premise to Conclusion Bridge.

These SA questions are kicking my butt, but I'm going to figure them out!
I dont understand why E is wrong? Is it not saying the exact same thing as A?
#feedback not sure if this is a glitch, but the program registered an incorrect answer for me ( I selected E but program registered A)
Hi everyone,
I am having the most difficulty with this section and was wondering if anyone had any advice on approaching and answering these questions. I always seem to be one step away from the correct answer, but can't identify the final step to reaching the answer.
Thanks for the help!
Hi, I was mainly stuck between A and E.
I quickly mapped it as:
art critic ridicules --> can undermine pleasure
art critic lavish praise --> can make viewing art more pleasurable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c: art merit can depend on creator and evaluators
I was stuck between A and E, and ended up choosing E bc it talked about general influence. Can someone provide another explanation for why its A and not E. And where you think my thinking likely went wrong?
Thank you!
I don't know how but I get it right just with going with my gut and what sounds right. I'm worried because I don't really know why I get it right.
translating to lawgic saves lives
this is the first Sufficient Assumption question i got right. thank god was starting to crumble

I knew I should have picked A but thought E sounded better :((((
I narrowed it down to A & E. While it's not always right, I've found that going with my gut has gotten me the right answer 3 of 4 times in those situations.
I chose A immediately after reading the stimulus but changed my answer to C after overthinking it. I need to trust my gut more :/
i hateeeeeeeee these quesztions
it is recommended to look over all the ACs in the SA question or just the one that fits right?
Are comparatives typically bad answer choices?
