Hi! im having trouble understanding #1. During the lesson it was stated that the indicator (in this case, "where") introduces the necessary condition. While I know we can't rely on the indicator words, how are we supposed to know to switch the conditions on the VERY FIRST practice problem?
"Any valid moral judgment about a particular action must be formed on the basis of its consequences." why is this a necessary condition when it uses a sufficient word indicator
A couple months back when I started studying for the LSAT and first came across this section, my brain just rejected to comprehend the concept so I essentially just skimmed it.
Obviously, I got ripped apart by LR question types like MBT and Parallel so right now I'm revisiting this lesson to really learn it.
And WOW, I ACTUALLY understand everything. I can't wait to get back to my LR training and see how much better I can do. I literally hear things click in my brain remembering some LR questions I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND to save my life!!!
I saw some comments that were confused about how this actually applied to the LSAT questions. I get the confusion and how it's really easy to lose motivation/interest. So I'm leaving this comment to share my experience. Everyone who's going through this step in their LSAT studying journey, hang in there. I hope everyone gets the results they want in the end :)
I keep getting the order of conditions wrong. For example, in number three. I put "Italian Plumber -> Raccoon suits" and then "/raccoon suits -> /Italian plumber"
Not sure if I am missing a bigger concept here. For #5 shouldn't it be necessities of safety demand making the stop, arrow, makes unscheduled stop? why is it the inverse?

Finally got a 5/5 on this lawgic section, I'm actually surprised since this trips me out a bit
this was good
5/5 again wow
what should I do if I'm still not understanding this?
so just to clarify, neccessary conditions are always on the right side of the arrow?
I've gotten all the exercise questions correct up until #4.
What I did:
Italian Plumbers Fly -> Wearing Racoon Suit
/Wearing Racoon Suit -> /Italian Plumbers Fly
When I'm reviewing the explanation video for #4, I suppose it was me not being specific in reading the sentence properly lol
Number 5 is tripping me up because it works in the inverse as well -- at least the way I've arranged it:
If the necessity of safety has demanded an unscheduled stop ---> then an unscheduled stop will occur.
/if an unscheduled stop does not occur ---> /then the necessity of safety has not demanded that an unscheduled stop occur.
If someone who figured this out could comment. Feel like the video was a bit lacking.
Pay attention to the indicators. Even when you are confused it'll be your life line in determining which part is sufficient and necessary.
3/5 but watched the explanation video and understood where i went wrong
in #3 i was definitely tempted to make "valid" a condition.
moral judgment formed on basis of its consequences --> valid
i didn't fall for that trap but i'm a little worried under test conditions i may make that mistake.
3/5
5/5 -thankful!

5/5:)
for questions like #1 instead of putting the / I put in my abbreviation did not increase is that ok? Im still doing same like thus
In surrounding counties, where hunting is permitted, the size of the deer population has not increased in the last eight years.
HP->SDPNI
/SDPNI->/HP
For #2, would this answer also be correct?
"/impacts from space -> /planetary society"
"Any valid moral judgment about a particular action must be formed on the basis of its consequences." why is this a necessary condition when it uses a sufficient word indicator
I HATE THESE
#help I keep getting through off by the world "only." Can someone explain how I can know when it is a sufficient and when it is a necessary condition?

Translations 3 went better for me than the others. I think I'm grasping this concept a lot better.
5/5!
Someone please be honest with me? Is mastering Lawgic worth it? Or should I continue with the lessons without this mastery and focus on drills etc...
