straight up was confused on the stem. thought it meant how the attorney argument was false due to the way he reasoned which is C, but I never seen this stem before so I overthink and decided it meant how the argument is flawed.

I thought the south america examples in the passage was separate from the scholars view's that's why I didn't choose C..

grand daddy fish.

Am I right here? You never pick an answer that's the opposite of the conclusion in the passage like answer choice D?? Because D is saying should but since it's a justify question the answer choice has to be in regards to "should not". Also based on this question all main points does not have to touch like political pressures? I was stuck between B and D and was about to choose D because it was touching all points of concern, while B does do that but I would have to infer that the assements are political pressure. Not sure if that make sense, I'm just jotting everything down from my train of thoughts before it goes away lol

Damn. Okay A makes sense on why it's wrong now.. sigh.

@Arthurxx update: so before reading each MC say " the necessary assumption is.." then continue reading that MC, also simplified try finding your the gap just like sufficient assumption but your not trying to make an absolute proof to close the case, you just want to literally keep it alive, so take the broader MC. That's what I got so far still learning lol

I need tips on this too fr.

@businessgoose was 140's easier? also did blind review of 156, seems that I was fatigued mainly, and my confidence was down. During blind review I came with a relaxed mind and was more energetic since I went to the gym and went ahead to try all the wrong questions again and got like most right, and even if I didn't get it right again, I reviewed why it was wrong and understood the mistake and what the correct MC does. So, get out the house, hit the gym or meditate, could just be your brain telling you to take a break!!! But that RC was super hard, that bepop passage was complex for sure.

nah this question is just not it. actually, preptest 156 is not it.

@jenniferstockton i didn't even do the experimental, was dropped straight into section 2 and got completely obliterated.

@JackRuotolo me either, I was confused on if it was asking my opinion on the claim or what; so I just went with what was my opinion which was his claims were not strong basically.

what did you do differently?

The question stem threw me off with the atomic structure, and when I searched it, it was the last sentence of the first paragraph that made me match it with C. But it makes sense that C is right because the even when means before and after, so fair enough LSAT writers.

to understand these a arrow b things which lesson do i go back to? is it formal logic? i struggle with NA and these chain things.. sigh #help

I was between A and C and chose C from POE. I only took A out because I thought the term "Sample" referred to like a survey or something; not a personal thing like the author's friends. Well lesson learned sample can also include that lol

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 :')

What's everyone strategy on these? I can't seem to get these and NA questions so far.

We are so back after that ridiculously hard NA section.

so over this section that I didn't even have the energy to crash out.

AGAIN IM STUCK BETWEEN THE RIGHT AND WRONG ANSWER IN LAST 2!!!! I NEGATE BOTH AND THEY BOTH WOULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT NOT WORK D AND A. THIS IS PISSING ME OFF NOW. EVERY SINGLE TRY NOW IN THIS SECTION I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS . I HATE NA. FAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

how am i suppose to know the assumption would be the cost of purchasing when the passage didn't even talk about that man come on.

does anyone have actual tips on NA because I keep narrowing it down to the last 2 and choosing the wrong one instead of the right one. I am genuinely over this section.
