Iv been rocking this whole section maybe a handful wrong but timing is off, im trying to understand it completely before moving on. What helps me especially with these principal questions is to see them at face value, do not overthink them. Dont even map them out, whatever the stim is saying will be directly corelated to the AC no need for fancy lawgic. Exp. this stim says that an organ that outlasts its body is useless, imagine a car right. lets say the motor is so strong that it outlives the transmission... the trans goes out before the motor does, so what good is that? your motor is running but the car cant get into gear and move... just like a useless thing. Now in the AC i am lookung for an option that says a componet doesnt need to be super strong or it will serve no purpose like the example I gave with the car engine. E is exactly like the situation I was talking about regardless of a car or not. Another example Ill give that doesnt pertain to cars is an iphone, lets say the made the iphone battery so strong that it doesnt die, now will all that extra battery power the screen starts to give out. Now you have a phone thats not dead but unusable b/c you cant see the screen. Hope this helps
Wow I got the previous questions right yet spent almost twice the target time to get this question wrong. For some reason, I didn't really see the part to whole relationship in the stimulus and instead interpreted the principle to be “given challenging/futile circumstances (no survival value), there is a process that reacts accordingly (the efficiency of natural selection).” And so I picked A bc I felt that the “unable to sell” lined up with the challenging/ futile circumstance and the “stocks them only when ordered” lined up with the process that reacts accordingly.
im so slow when it comes to abstract thinking and principles man, ill always get it right whether initally or blind review but i take like 40-1 min longer than i should because it just takes me a while to recognize the abstractness
I see how E shows part to whole but it's throwing me off that the stimulus' premise maps to E's conclusion and E's premise maps to the stimulus' conclusion. So far it has seemed like those typically parallel each other in these types of questions. What am I missing?
I am a little thrown off with the first sentence of the stimulus. Is there a typo with the apostrophe in "animal's" or am I just reading it incorrectly?

how should I come up with part-whole from the stimulus? Can it be like whole-part? how can I order it...
Trusting my gut has helped me so much

I didnt get the last two questions until BR
It would be really nice if there's a list of the principles that LSAT has tested us on.
Find the general idea of the stim/ the message its trying to portray and then apply that idea to the answer choices. which ever fits best is ur answer
literally couldnt read the stimulus for the life of me for some reason

Kind of shocked he didn't point out the obvious trap in B, using the same example in answer an conclusion
Dang I love these. Really just go with your instinct and what sounds most similar and youll get it. I try not to overthink these AT ALL.
I love these questions! They are fun because I do not even know what I am reading haha
Took me three minutes to even understand the stim, but once I understood it I got it in 5 seconds after.
After reading the stim i wasn't able to abstract a principle, but E still stood out as a very attractive answer nonetheless!
I am a little thrown off with the first sentence of the stimulus. Is there a typo with the apostrophe in "animal's" or am I just reading it incorrectly?
Does anyone have a list of all the general principles a question might be ?
