How would you diagram “the only thing you need for A is B ” and “the only way to have C is through D”?
Are these two the same statements?
I’m starting to feel like, at least the first one, is a bi-conditional. Thoughts?

Hi! I'm taking the July flex. I've read a lot complaints about the test being proctored poorly and about proctors requiring things that seem a bit impossible, like keeping the computer/webcam far enough away that the proctor can see everything that I'm writing on my scratch paper and and also my face. With my computer, I have to put the computer far across the table (too far to be able to read anything or even type) in order to show both my face and an entire sheet of scratch paper). I've also read about other strange issues like being interrupted for looking too closely at the screen?
Does anyone have any advice about what I can do to help make sure the flex goes smoothly for me? Has anyone said anything to their proctors before the test to lay out any sort of ground rules and expectations? I'm also wondering if anyone bought a different webcam setup to mitigate any of this? Thanks in advance! Just feeling a bit jittery after reading all these horror stories.
I have heard that law schools like to see one good score rather than retakes, but have also heard that it can be good to send in a better score after your first one to the schools you apply to. I know it's better to apply earlier, so I'm wondering if it would be more beneficial to take the LSAT in October and apply in November and then also take the November LSAT, or to just take the November one and apply in December so I have an extra month to study and only one score?
I am unable to find the highlight button. What I think is the highlight button (looks more like an eraser) doesn't work.
Hi, is there a way of taking tests directly on Lawhub and then transferring them to 7sage to make use of the analytics?
Hi guys,
I registered for the July LSAT-Flex, but I do not feel ready yet. However, when I tried to withdraw it from the LSAC website, it said "not eligible to withdraw." Does someone know whether we can withdraw LSAT-Flex or not?
Thank you!
I'm nervous of being ready in time for the October LSAT, but want to ensure I get my test scores in early enough in the admissions cycle. I'm aiming for 170 - still need to get faster on LG and RC.
Hello all! I’m having trouble bringing my timed score up to my BR score. Based on my scores and studying history, how do you guys think I should continue to study in order to bring my scores up?
Studying Background:
I scored 152 on my diagnostic on May 1st. Since May, I’ve completed the LSAT Trainer and the LG Curriculum from 7Sage.
The Problem:
Today, I took my first PT since the diagnostic and only scored 157. I think the problem is that I'm too slow. In literally every section, I run out of time around question 20 and am forced to quickly guess on the last few.
For context, I was only able to complete 3 games and it takes me about 4 minutes to read a passage in RC.
The reason that I think this is a “timing” issue instead of an “understanding” issue is that I have 85% accuracy on the questions that I do answer and because my Blind Review is solid (178). I only spend about 30 minutes on the Blind Review, so it’s not as if I spend all day to bring the score up to 178.
My Questions:
Based on my studying background and the problems I seem to be having during the exam, what would you guys recommend I do to bring my score up?
Is my problem a timing issue that can simply be resolved with more PTing? Or does my low score suggest a fundamental lack of understanding? Should I be doing multiple timed PTs a week or continue to focus on fundamentals?
As you can tell, I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
Sincerely,
A fellow LSATer.
I took the May Flex exam and am signed up for July. I think I remember being able to talk to my proctor beforehand, like they talked to us and introduced themselves and made us follow the directions? That would be the best time to tell them about potential problems and stuff beforehand right? Like you could clear it up and be like please dont interrupt or if you find something wrong pause the time or whatever
Hi everyone. I did the Khan academy test prep, but made the mistake of really only doing the tests and not really trying to learn anything. I started 7sage a few weeks ago and am working my way through the CC now. I know I would like to have a tutor but I am curious when the best time to get a tutor is/when most people accept students. Is now a good time to seek a tutor? Or do I need to be doing PTs to benefit from a tutor? Thanks!
Hey guys! Does anyone know how the timing works for the flex? For example is it just 3 35 minute sessions consecutively? Are there breaks? Does anyone know where I could find more info about it?
I've noticed that I do much better on the first two sections and much poorly on the last two, regardless of the category. Any tips on how to stay focused?
So... I have taken a PT and not completed BR for it... I was planning on doing it when I had more time, though now when I am trying to do the blind review, I cannot access it. Is there a way to do this that I am just not seeing?
Hi.
I am curious whether it is possible to reset the analytics. For example , I've recently started studying full-time again and wish to delete my current Problem sets and completed PTs. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Thanks.
I am hoping to compile a list of all the questions I have pinned (using the purple bin after finishing a problem set) in the past 5 months of studying. Any idea of how I can access this information?

Does everything work well on a Kindle? Are there any limitations?
Hey everyone, can somebody please help me out, I’ve been studying since March and am aiming for a 165. I average missing 4-5 per LR section, missing about 3 on LG, but RC is killing me. I’ll go anywhere from missing 5 to 12 and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to improve. I plan to take the October exam and was thinking about taking 2 weeks and doing 2 RC sections a day (one in the morning untimed and one at night timed) any suggestions would be appreciated thank you!
hey guys, i took the June 2007 pt as a cold diagnostic in January as i started my LSAT journey and got annoyed at how low my score was, and deleted the results - horrible lapse of judgment - without blind reviewing as i didn't know how to effectively do it at the time. now im finally done the CC, after many breaks, and want to see how much better i got, but i realized i deleted the results so i cant go back and compare from the original. My question is, should i just retake the June 2007 pt and then blind review and see how they compare to the score of the cold diagnostic, or is it just a waste of time and just start PTing at PT1? thanks for any feedback.
Hey guys, I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew and need extra time to study. In the e-mail we got for the July 2020 LSAT-Flex, LSAC noted that there is an option to opt-out and get a coupon for any LSAT from Aug till next April, but they did not indicate a deadline. I tried e-mailing LSAC to ask if there is a deadline and haven't gotten a response yet. In your experience, has there been one? I'm trying to see if I can still study till I'm confident enough for the July LSAT-Flex, but I don't know how much time I have to make that decision. Would appreciate your thoughts!
What do people think about taking the LSAT again? In general is it a good idea and is it reasonable? On a personal note, I recently took the May LSAT Flex and I am signed up for the July test. I did good on the first one and have recently taken a few weeks off to focus on other things, but I came back to a PT today and got the same score as I had on test day. That made me think I could get a better score if I put a couple more weeks of prep into it. Does anyone have any advice from their own experiences about taking the LSAT more than once? Thanks everyone, 7Sage and its community have already raised my score a whole bunch and I am forever appreciative of everyone.
I keep getting these questions wrong almost every time I am confronted with one. SOS.
I do bad toward the end of psets, but I don't know if I should continue with the curriculum or go over the entire pset/lesson again to see if I understand it better. Any recommendations on what I should do? Should I just move on or review that section all over again.
Is it one of a kind? Are their earlier games that reminded you of it? Any drill suggestions? Thanks.
I've been looking on LSAC for where to upload my picture for OVER AN HOUR. Is it right in front of me and I'm just blind? Can someone please tell me where it is. I give up.
Thanks in advanced.
I apologize if this is answered elsewhere, but is there a way to add an experimental section to the digital tester? Also, should I still be using the 7sage proctor video for the digital LSAT?
