Hi, I have two questions which might have one simple answer.

Can someone please explain to me why I shouldn't do a biconditional every time it says if m, not k (m --> /k). I mean the contrapositive would be if k, not m (k --> /m). So why not write it as m (---) /k ?

How does biconditional affect the rule of "if Sufficient condition not satisfied rule goes away and if necessary condition satisfied rule goes away"? when there is "m (---) /k" and the question says "not k" then the rule goes away?

RC is holding my back from getting the score I want. LG is my strongest section and LR is my 2nd best. RC however-is horrible. I am almost embarrassed to say this but whatever...I can get anywhere from -8 to a whopping -13 (and it is usually the latter number)!

I have tried just about everything from low-res notes, passage structure, slowing down, reading faster, feigning interest. It is making me feel like I will never get over this hump. I usually do an RC section a day or every other day. I took a few days off from the LSAT since the Oct-Flex to freshen up but just bombed an RC section that I took.

I keep seeing people post about RC and I implement the advice others get so I am not sure how many people will be able to suggest anything new or different, but I am open to anything at this point.

The crazy thing is sometimes I will finish a section and be like okay, this is working I think I did well-only to be super disappointed when I see my wrong Qs after BR.

PLEASE HELP!

I was hoping to see if someone has be able to make a concise explanation/understanding of this indicators and their respective rules. I find the them to be a bit confusing relative to #1 and #2 - especially because the rule states you can pick either idea to negate and then it becomes the suff. cond.

Hoping to see if theres something a bit more straightforward. Thanks in advance.

Anyone got any tips/strategies for tackling PF? They're my worst area. I do pretty okay when it's a common invalid argument form but often times I can't really see what the flaw is if it doesn't follow that. Also not sure when to map out the stimulus and when I shouldn't.

Hey everyone, so I have been studying for about a little over a month and a half with 7Sage and I have just come to the decision to start again from scratch. The reason for this is I feel like the lessons, mainly the ones about breaking down words, sentences, phrases and being able to use this to identify what exactly the passages are saying (ex argument labeling, comparative statements, sufficient assumptions, etc.) aren’t clicking for me and I feel like once its time to take the practice quizzes at the end of the lesson I completely forget all that is taught and just read the passages without really using what I had just learned. Anyone have any tips on being able to apply these lessons as I go? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, hope you are all doing well. I am taking the November LSAT Flex and am currently, consistently, averaging -4 to -7 (-7 is my lowest score) on my LR Flex PT sections. I am hoping to be consistently at -1 to -3 per section and thought I check in here to see if anyone had some tips on how to best spend my next month studying. I generally get a few Nec. Assumption and Suf. Assumption Q's wrong as well as a parallel reasoning Q wrong. Would appreciate any advice/ tips. Thanks and best of luck with your studying and apps!

I've been studying pretty diligently for the November LSAT but am still doing really terribly on the logic games section (like, really bad).

Do I have enough time between now and the November LSAT to nail down the games with the fullproofing system? And do you just recommend starting with all the "core curriculum" games?

Thank you!

When you’re doing a necessary assumption question and an answer choice seems like it would be the answer to a must be true / most strongly supported question does that mean you should eliminate it?

Can someone please explain these to me. I don't understand them at all and I have reviewed the lesson over and over again. I always end up picking the SA as my answer. PLEAAASEEEE!!!!!!! #help

So I'm currently going through the LG section. I'm curious to know what you guys do after each times LG section. In other words, do you repeatedly do the games until you're able to get the inferences. I'm unsure how to strategize that. Should I finish sections within the LG section and keep retesting the LG games and then move on? I plan to take LSAT in JAN so I'm hoping fixing my issue will help.

I had to call during my writing exam because the program had cut me out. They made me do a room scan again once I was back in the program. But, while I was on the call and my phone was on the table while I did so. When I hung up the phone, I put my phone farther away to the side and under the table. Is this going to be a problem? Has anyone had a similar situation occur?

This was gonna be my first LSAT and I wasn’t able to take it. I logged in and then proctor took over, then the computer began to lag like crazy. We kept on disconnecting. My internet is fine and is fast but when they took over, it went to crap. We tried to fix it for two hours and no luck. I went to buy a usb Ethernet adaptor to fix the connection issue by connecting my laptop directly to the modem. The proctor told me to call LSAC to see what we can do and he even said to download the chat box later to try again. I talked to tech support for proctor u and they didn’t know about this chat box (this one that allows the proctor to talk to you and take over your computer) but told me to email them to reschedule. Today was the last day to take the exam on the schedule. Wth! Am I screwed here? Anyone have/had this issue and is there a way to take the October exam still?

During the sign in process with my proctor, my webcam signal was not being received. I spent more than 4 hours with technical support resolving the issue, but when it finally was resolved, I was informed that my examination window had closed and that I needed to contact LSAC to request an extension. When I called the testing support line, a guy told me that all LSAT slots were full until January! That doesn't seem right... Does anyone know if there's a special route for people to sign up for a new session if they were unable to write due to tech issues?

Hey guys! I was curious as to how you all have gone about studying different game types. Do I need to wait till I master one before moving on to the next? Or can I do a few at once? I'm taking the November test and logic games is what's holding me back. I'm only getting about 11-12 correct. Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have experience with this?? On both LG and RC sections, I lost connection and ultimately, my vid cut out. They took 30 minutes and still couldn't solve it, which for RC meant that what I'd read was not in my brain anymore. I requested to reschedule rather than spend more time waiting for no reason.

Will I be able to reschedule?? I'm so upset!

Anyone wants to do a zoom session where we discuss a reading comp. section? 80+ reading comp answer wordings are something else. We'll decide what test to take, we don't score or BR yet, get on zoom, compare answers and discuss our understanding of each passage and how we arrived at our respective answers.

I keep seeing people referring to the Oct. 8th administration date in a way suggesting that it's only for international students. I'm in the United States and signed up for the Thursday date without any issue. However, now I'm getting paranoid that I'm not going to be able to take the test tomorrow or something! Any other Americans taking the test tomorrow (Oct. 8th)?

So I started my test, was having tons on problems got tossed around to different proctors/technicians. Eventually was able to start the test, got through the first section and then the connection went out with 2 minutes left. At that point the proctor/technicians told me to just reschedule. When I called LSAC they told me I had to take it this Friday even though there were empty slots to reschedule this week. Just wondering if anyone else had similar experience/was told to retake on Friday.

Hi, I completed my LSAT writing a couple of days ago and while I was trying to take a pic of my ID I was talking to my mom to press the capture button so I could stabilize it since it was coming out blurry (but this was before I started the test). And I also forgot to show under my desk. Does anyone think this is grounds for disqualifying my submission/flagging it? I’m kinda worried and don’t know what if I should call LSAC or not.
