I'm actually doing quite well on this section. I'm hoping that it's because I'm getting better at understanding logic and the LSAT. To any one who paid attention to my comments of frustration and felt the same, it gets better because WE get better.
Silly rabbit, you confused a claim that under certain conditions a certain action should be taken with a claim that the action need not be taken in the absence of those conditions
I'm thoroughly upset that the "harder" questions usually come easier to me than the simpler ones. If I can discover this disconnect, I think I'm golden.
Does anyone have experience with tutors being able to hone in on what exactly you're missing?
Same, this question felt so easy compared to the previous ones. Difficulty on the LSAT is strange. I think part of the problem is that answering these questions inevitably makes us paranoid. When something seems too easy, we assume there must be a trap or trick of some sort
This has always been a problem for me! I think it's because I take the harder questions more seriously and am more cautious not to get tricked, then end up messing up the easy ones because I get overly confident and spend less time on them. For me, treating every question equally and reminding myself to not get dangerously confident seems to help :)
Is it just me or are there some questions where you might not be able to explain why you knew the answer, but it kind of feels right in a way? Part of me thinks its intuition finally kicking in, but maybe I just got lucky after narrowing it down to 2-3 answers and guessed right.

Somehow, I feel like this section is finally making sufficiency and necessity click
I agree, feels like the missing puzzle piece. I actually feel like this could have been put earlier in the planning and have SA and NA after.
Whoever wrote AC E, Karma is coming for you.
the more I get right, the more scared I get :/
This is literally me right now. I have gotten all but 1 right and it is making me more scared.

Why’d this one click for me?? The level 1 Qs made me crash out🙃
@tarena2005104 omg same
surprised i got this right oh wow
I would've never got this right lol.
This one is rated harder but was easier for me than the last two. Weird
woooohoooo I been struggling with these but I think something just clicked ...
Literally only picked E bc it gave me a headache and I figured that’s what the LSAT writers wanted
I've started doing that on flaw questions that confuse me and my accuracy has improved HAHA
sigh im going to bed
E was a world salad for which I don't have time on the exam bruh!!
#feedback Fire me up! may have taken 1min over time but this was not a question I was getting correct 2 months ago!

I am absolutely cheddared that I got this right

to make sure, if the argument used the contrapositive, it would be valid.
if it wasn't labeled then people didn't get upset.
Principle: ingredients cause upset --> should label
application: /causes upset --> /need label
FLAW:
contrapositive of the principle is: /should label --> /upset
instead the application negates the sufficient condition (causes upset) and then mistakenely negates the necessary condition (should label)
the principle doesn't tell us anything about what we should do if an ingredient would not cause upset
guys i guess i really am learning cos i saw E and immediately knew it was right :D
