Can someone dumb it down for why it's A?? Because the scientist was talking about the M group getting cured, and the reporter also says that anyone in the study had athlete's foot that was not cured, that person did not receive medication M. So, I am confused on how his statement was wrong? He speicifed what the scientist said and specified it about that exact experimental groups done in the study. Also if someone can dumb down "confusing necessity with sufficient" that would be great, because I feel like maybe I am understanding the concept wrong :')
BRUHH I thought "only" was group two, so I (allegedly) mapped it out incorrectly and got it wrong. But, when I went back to the foundations to check, it was on the list of indicators for group 2 - necessary???? so idk if I'm missing something? Or if anyone else had the same issue?
Hey guys on the actual LSAT there are no questions this easy tbh. Like it is usually about a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 split between level 3, 4 and 5 questions. I have pulled a 178 and 179 on practice tests but got a 167 in February
Can someone help me understand how E does not mean /cured -> /M, which then translates to M->cured, which IS the flaw of the argument? I get the "sizeable subgroup" sets component being weird and squishy but wondering if the rest holds.
Someone help! I don't understand how answer A demonstrates sufficiency and necessity confusion. It says "M always cures athlete's foot." Isn't "always" apart of group 2 conditional indicators? So wouldn't answer A be saying that the reporter is concluding the same thing as the scientist?
I've noticed I am so nervous about answers that even though I get them correct, I am taking way too long to move onto the next question because I am double checking my answer.
So satisfying when you read the first AC and choose it right away. Feeling like it's starting to click on most question types working within time recommendations.
#help#help Wait a minute... "the only" is sufficient (group one)? I do not have that in my notes. I took "the only" to be the same as only (necessary, group two). Can anyone explain why "the only" is sufficient (group one)? Thank you! :)
Lol at the reporter should have signed up for 7 sage lol!

I chose B initially but in BR understood why A was the correct answer
YEAH WELL WHAT IF THE ATHLETES FOOT CURED ITSELF

I knew only and always were synonymous, why I second guessed myself? no clue
This specific question has proved to me that I have difficulty with the abstract language used in more difficult versions of flaw questions

my first W of the day thank you jesus
Nailed it. This one was challenging and took me 4 minutes but I did get the right answer.
the way i had A for like 30 seconds but then changed it to D lmao
#feedback I love that these lessons finally account for the time it takes to do the question, blind review, AND watch the video. THANK YOUUUUUU!!!
Why is flaw lesson so damn longgggg
Nevermind chat.
Damn I got bamboozled.
Picked A and didn't even bother to look at the rest

lol @ JY's reaction to the experiment design
I love these
#help it took me 9 mins! I got it right but what am I not understanding right away? what foundational lessons do I need to go back to? please help!!
How long does it take you guys to do these types of questions now. Is it bad if it take me around 1:30 for them?
