IM SCREAMING HOLYYY SH!T!!! I always thought I'd end up skipping this question type on test day(long answer choices). But now because of 7sage.....I might just take a stab at them. I absolutely will :D
please share how. Are you writing out the problem in formal logic and the answer choices in formal logic? I'm having the hardest time getting me time down on these ?s, I don't even have a proposed approach for getting my time down.
My approach when I first started practicing was taking my time diagramming it, and then intuitively looking at the answer choices and seeing what mirrors that diagram and follows that pattern the closest. Usually with that approach it comes down to two answer choices. Then I take the time to write out the formal logic for those two if they are close, and usually that will make it clear. It will get easier to visualize as you practice and do this more and more.
I didn't know how to map it simply I always confuse myself more when I do that lol I wish it worked for me. I think it's a sign I need to review foundational lawgic and classic conditional flaws more. I get these right but I take forever breaking down the stim.
Should I just accept that I will be skipping these every time they come up (hopefully once per section) and then planning on using my leftover time on them? Nothing else in LR comes even close to taking me as long
I've been trying to just choose the answer that I feel is correct, based on intuition. So I don't map anything or write anything down on my first go. Then in BR I do the full analysis. I'm hoping this trains my intuition and speed!
Haven't gotten a single question from this module right for parallel questions... strongly considering just skipping over these for the June LSAT and prioritizing brushing up on other things atp lol.
waaaait this is actually so helpful. Thank you! do you actually write down the sentences though? I feel like I have to at least do an abbreviated version to keep track of what each number would mean

Could everyone congratulate me? I'm now done with this section. I didn't complete it, but I am done with it.
😂
hilarious keep them coming
@Slippin-Jimmy If law doesn't work, consider stand up comedy, you got a standing ovation from me on this one.
I might be crazy here... but this question type reminds me of playing Sudoku.. memorizing numbers and patterns and seeing what fits.
pretty decent at these but gosh i take forever
Dude I was so locked in for this holy shit. Currently rotating a 3D apple in my mind I'm on another level
spinning so fast i could power a small city fr
wow having a manipulative ex came in handy for this one
when asked to define soft skills, I'm using you as an example js.
real
💀
got this right almost 30 seconds below the target time. thank you J.Y.!!!
15 seconds below the target time. J.Y. out here doing god's work.
okay so it looks like I WILL be skipping these...
holy shit I got it right
i slayed
CALL ME REMY THE WAY I’M COOKING
I'm HIM

the gasp i let out when i got this correct
this may or may not have taken me 17 minutes
Finally got it right and faster than the target time!

took me 5 darn minutes but somehow i got it lol
Got it right but AT WHAT COST
Hey guys, ive found that reducing the concepts down strictly to their letters is helpful.
Look for A→B and then B→A. I barely even read the answers, i just instantly label A and B and then try to see if there is B→A
Thank you for this. It worked!

These are my worst questions but I agree I will be saving them for last!
I think you should practice more sadly they come up more often than you think!!! make it less of a priority but definitely not an immediate skip
I've gotten this advice before and honestly think it's the way to go!
I keep getting PA questions correct, but I am way too slow.

took 3 minutes but i got it :,,)

I find it helpful to just number the ideas as they come in the stimulus and map them out in the argument form.
here's how it would go for this question:
countries with an uneducated populus (idea 1) destined to be weak (idea 2): 1 -> 2
countries with an educated populus ( /1 ) are committed financially (idea 3): /1 -> 3
conclusion: 3 -> /2
then I do the same quickly for each answer choice until I can eliminate and answer choice and move on, or until I find the perfect match.
- Mapping out A quickly you see there is only an idea 1 and an idea 2. So, it can't be analogous
- Mapping out B: people incapable of empathy (1) are not good for public office (2): 1 -> 2
capacity of empathy ( /1 ) are good manipulators (3) : /1 -> 3
conclusion: 3 -> /2 . Exactly the same, so I picked B and moved on.

Did not realize you had to chain these to get to the right answer
@Bigsby same
a minute over and got it!!
