This one took me 27 seconds too long. I feel like my brain turned to mush reading through the ACs and the Stim. I got it right, but man it took me a while to get there.

I thought this was an "except" question because I didn't read the stem and just got done with the previous lesson. I was like wait how the heck did I get it wrong, my answer choice wasn't supported at all? ... Well, that's exactly why I got it wrong lol.

3/3 LFG !!!!!

My first instinct was B but then I fell for D. Should've gone with my gut. Why is it that I feel as though I understand the lawgic/logic, and then when I get to an LSAT question, I feel like I can't understand wtf they are saying anymore? Maybe I just need to practice more difficult questions?

Each of the many A -> B

C-> A<s>/D

That's a lot of chained logic. It seems so simple now that I see it laid out that way but when I'm working the question I feel like the introduction of the fourth element and the ordering of things is confusing me. Am I not practicing advanced enough logic chains to be able to intuitively get it? Do I need to slow down and answer more questions slowly before I start recognizing them quickly?

For Q4, I came up with

Potions in hut -m-> poisonous and some beneficial effects

So, yeah, I did miss the some poisonous things have some benefit.

Daaaang question 4 got me! I can see why though. I confused sufficient for necessary with pilots and those who perform lazy 8. Dangit. 4/5.

Some of these Lawgic translations are tricky for me, but I'm noticing in the explanations that I am not missing the concept and am understanding the meaning intuitively. If you are feeling the same way, I think it is safe to skip. This seems only intended for those who don't understand the nature of "some," "most," "all," etc.

All means all, and that's all that all means.

Y'all ever heard the joke "I don't smoke any more, but I ain't smoking any less, neither?" That's the kind of "smart-alecky" answer that this type of logic language is talking about.

Most of my dogs are animals. All of them are, too. But that includes most, so most is accurate. Same with some. BUT, most is always at least half.

I will get a 181 on the LSAT.

Q5 F***ED ME UP lol. Got it right, but dang that threw me off hahaha

Q5 for me felt like my brain was getting scrambled. I thought I understood the statement and that it was straight forward, then by the end of the explanation I was like, did I actually understand this? Do I even understand it now? How can I practice contrapositive extrapolation to the point where it just automatically happens in my mind without spending 20 minutes analyzing a question, which, by the end of it all, I might not even understand better than if I just went with my intuition? This feels rather discouraging lol

2/3. Second question felt like there were heavy assumptions and I didn't quite get the sense that the Prompt was telling me to assume that all information in the Stimulus was true. "But Yerxes is more qualified" is what I overlooked as an assumption. Really, I just overthought the whole damn thing and was like "well McG could have been an architect blah blah" instead of just taking the stimulus for what it was. A list of assumptions I'm supposed to follow through logically.
