for anyone struggling with these questions i would like to recommend the may 7 2025 recorded class with henry ewing. I struggled badly with these questions and after watching that single class saw considerable improvement in deciphering these questions correctly and quickly.
Not necessarily the most important thing for this question, but be mindful every time you have a conclusion regarding cost that uses percentages in its reasoning. LSAT test makers love to have you assume that being a lesser percentage automatically means cheaper.
The tip of negating a potential answer to see if it is necessary is extremely helpful. I was torn between answer choices E and D, but I saw that negating D would ensure that biological processes were more expensive. (I think...)
Is D not just restating the premise? Like doesn't the premise stipulate that the cost for the biological process is not more expensive than the conventional process?
HECK YEAH! Even if it's a level 3 question, I actually followed the logic pretty well on this one and was able to anticipate the NA. I was only 2 seconds over target time
What are the parameters for significant? Unless I am missing something, for D to be correct, it would have to say something like "significantly more such that disposal cost for BC supersedes CC," right? Who defines significant? My "reasonable" definition could differ from yours, thus, leading one of us to make an assumption that can be quite different. I just don't see how "significant" necessarily means that BC disposal is cheaper, though i would agree that it probably does.
if you saw my comment about skipping these questions on the exam... i retract my statement. Just had my ah-ha moment. Sometimes it takes a while but we must push forward my lads
I understand how the answer is D. However, I am confused on how to apply the negative test to further prove that this is the correct negative assumption. Can someone help me with this? Thanks! :)
bro 15 minutes to answer this question. NA questions are hard, to be honest. The hardest type so far.

this took me 3 minutes but still slay
I got D timed then second guessed to B in BR
Slay queen

I processed of elimination this one. I was left with only D.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Wait why would the trap version of answer choice D be sufficient but not necessary?

this one was easy because none of the other answers were even relevant
#feedback got to say, the explanation for B being wrong was sad. someone explain it better please
If you're like me who struggles with NA questions, please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA7uv4gItGs I found this soooo helpful
I literally did the worm when I got this one right. #comebackcity
I understand how the answer is D. However, I am confused on how to apply the negative test to further prove that this is the correct negative assumption. Can someone help me with this? Thanks! :)
Yep nope, don't get this one.
Okay maybe the negating does work
The time is the issue for me in 99% of these questions, if it doesnt fix itself im finna go brazington
