either not get it when explained or do get it when explained, but not able to apply it to statements whose logic does not correlate to any real-life situation.

As a former LSAT instructor I'd say 80% can it up quickly enough when you explain it to them. They are DEVASTATED by necessary vs sufficient conditions.
