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.
I put A because I took that to mean there are likely more malnourished people in the subject group of 65+ than what is recorded. I see why I'm wrong but very frustrating
I think my biggest issue is second guessing myself causing my time to increase. Got this one right, but took way to much time. When I do get questions wrong, I find often I had the right answer at first and then over thought it. Anyone else have this problem?
5 seems kind of stupid to me, we don't know that "not viewing election as important" would mean they wouldn't vote and we don't have a definition for "right before election". What if "right before election" was 6 months and 1 week? Lowering the age 6 months before, then, would mean that many voters were not eligible at the time.
I had to reread the stimulus multiple times to see why C is right and D is wrong. It's clear as day, just so frustrating to be doing this on my phone after a full day of work and everything else. I think I need to stop doing these at 830 pm lol. I basically read the the answers with the opposite logic
Im surprised this is ranked a 3/5, this seems like a fairly easy one? I've seen a few that are ranked as difficult that seem to be pretty easy, so kind of questioning the "Difficulty" ranking (If I sound arrogant to any readers, just know that there are most certainly questions I've gotten wrong that you got right)
@thr107 'm not saying to take my word for it, but something I'm gathering is a lot of this "Lawgic" is just getting you to read sentences a certain way.
The opera one is tough because it says "likely", which I would think is something you can say from the information in the premises. "Likely" doesn't mean "we can conclude she is classically trained", its more so "given this information its probable that she is classically trained", which leaves room to still conclude, "she is not classically trained". On the test, I would probably get this wrong because "it seems likely" does a lot of work to make the conclusion make sense.
I'm so annoyed with myself because I missed the "except" part of the question, and tried to find the answer that was closest to the stimulus. Reading too quickly through the question is def a mistake I make, and I have gotten quite a few of these types of questions wrong due to this!
@EmmaHulbert This is exactly my thought, I would love a further breakdown of this because IMO this did not address the argument made in the stimulus.
@Kevin_Lin Got it, so with Lawgic we want to push it to be as specific as possible.
4/5, I'm so annoyed because my first thought on Question 5 was correct but I over thought it and changed it. I find myself doing that a lot when I get a question wrong, I have the right answer but over think and then pick a wrong answer.
Can 5 also be translated to K <-some-> /Chil? We know its most, but this encapsulates "some" as well, right? Or are we to focus on taking the Lawgic as far as it can go, and that being the singular answer?
@ZoomorphicValidGoal none of that rules out "most", we are only talking about the inspections. If we say they are "usually" on Monday, that means it takes place on Monday more than the other days as a whole.
Its "Monday" vs "all other days of the week as one", this means that it usually happens on Monday over any other day.
Most does not imply the inspections are every Monday, it means that when an inspection is done it tends to be on a Monday instead of any other day.
Does this help?
@Serafinaq I'm in the same boat, I feel like this is over complicating it and given the time on the questions this might take too long
I got all 3 but overtime :( I think that might be the biggest challenge of converting prep to performance on this test
Ugh I crossed out all answers on the graphic designer question, so just decided to pick A. I got 2/3, I understand why I was wrong but man that's frustrating
@FultonHoover I've realized its a challenge in itself to make sure you are understanding the question you're being asked correctly, so you aren't alone! I've definitely gotten some wrong due to exactly that. Its crazy how our brains will just make connections that aren't there!
It would be helpful to have more LSAT questions sprinkled through these lessons just like this. I know that may be coming later, but I think it could speed up understanding how the concepts apply to the test so we can focus more on drilling actual questions.
Is there a way to pull up questions by type, so we can drill ourselves on what we are currently learning?
I picked B, since high fats were most abundant in the shore areas but human brain evolution took place exclusively in savannahs. Brain being smaller would require less, so I'm still not sure how that's wrong
@brendanryankelly this would strengthen the argument, the correct answer needs to cast doubt that humans caused the birds extinction
@jbucholz My understanding is that you are correct
If I'm assassinated, I am dead, therefore there is no possibility I can give a speech. It is necessary that I am alive
That doesn't mean that I do give the speech, I could get lost on the way to the Senate chamber and miss my time. I could get cold feet, I could get sick. In all those instances, I survived the assassination attempt, but still did not give the speech.
"You will not be hungry at bed time if you eat your dinner. Dinner is only served at 7. You cannot eat dinner unless you make it home by 7."
Your making it home by 7 doesn't mean you eat dinner, but its necessary for you to. You cannot conclude
"Home by 7-> Not hungry at bed time"
because maybe you get home by 7 but lose your appetite, maybe your allergic to whats being served, making you hungry when you go to bed. Home by 7 is necessary, but not sufficient
But you can conclude "/home by 7 -> /Not hungry at bed time" because home by 7 is necessary to eat dinner
@Njbrunette A also says "only those species", the only I missed on first read through but noticed on the second which let me confirm B is correct.
