Hey folks,
For which question types in LR am I supposed to write out a logical equations (translating the stimulus)? And, for those question types, when am I to employ intuition vs. writing out logical equations?
I'm really struggling with translating convoluted/complex stimulus into logical equations and then back into English again to find the answer choice. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

I personally don't diagram very often and the questions I do diagram tend to be parallel reasoning and MBT/MBF questions with an occasional SA if I'm having trouble seeing the gap in the English version. So basically I diagram if there are a lot of conditional statements and it would be difficult to hold the implications in my head or if the precise conditional structure of the argument is key to answering the questions, as it would be for parallel reasoning.
It is normal to be slow in the beginning and speed up with practice. Make sure you do the drills at the end of the lawgic lessons - they look tedious but the repetition helps commit the steps to muscle memory and thus helps you get faster
I'm glad 7Sage has quite a few Drake fans
That said, in my experience the question types that demand the most diagramming are SA and PFlaw. NA and Flaw questions may also require you to diagram.
@Micaela_OVO It is. Drake seems to have some type of obsession with owls, haha.
