The better inquiry here is just, “what’s going on with this question?” The fact that you got it right is completely irrelevant if you don’t know how. If you take a blind guess without even reading the question, you’ve got a 20% chance to select the right answer. Does it matter if you blind guess the right answer? Of course not. Including irrelevant information suggests you believe it is not irrelevant, and it reveals misguided priorities. Your job as an LSAT student is not to get right answers. It’s to develop understanding of relevant concepts, and to apply that understanding skillfully. Right answers are a consequence of having done your job, but they mean exactly nothing without understanding how you chose them.
Then you didn't get it right, you got points but can't logically answer the question. Focus on understanding the process and the right answers will come.
