Is there any difference between the two? If there is, could anyone give an example of how that would look?
For example:
Premise: A->B
Conclusion: B->A
I feel like the flaw here is both that it confuses a sufficient condition for being necessary, and that a necessary condition is sufficient.
Does the order of the language make a difference?

I only missed question 16 on this section. When I read the question stem as it was asking for the impact of the discussion of nuclear fusion, my prephrase was something along the lines of, "It displays how Payne's findings paved the way for the later development of nuclear fusion."
My prephrase was off, because there really is no support for her findings having any causal impact on the discovery of nuclear fusion. The last paragraph is tricky because of this, as I fell into the trap of assuming there was some kind of mechanism going on there. This led me to answer choice D, although I did not like it because of the word "modified." I was thinking the LSAT was taking a 2nd or 3rd definition of a word here and that perhaps modified could be synonymous to "improved upon" or "transformed." The later scientific developments was the discovery of nuclear fusion. Still however, this makes no sense, as nothing about her evidence she amassed was ultimately used (to our knowledge from the passage) for this discovery.
With a closer reading of the last paragraph I would have not made that mistake. However, I was also incorrect in my approach to this problem because I just zoomed in on the second sentence of the last paragraph instead of reading the lines before it. The support for answer choice B comes from the first sentence of the last paragraph.
The discovery of nuclear fusion confirmed Payne's findings. Before this discovery, Payne's contemporaries had no way to reconcile her findings with their understanding of the Sun's chemistry, which led them to the flawed assumption that her findings/hypothesis must be inaccurate. The structure of this last paragraph as a whole is to explain the impact she had on her fellow scientists, and display how her data was correct and her colleagues were proven wrong.
Key takeaway: I let my guard down and allowed my incorrect prephrase to make me do more work for an answer choice. Make sure to never add more assumptions/details to any answer choice. When asked about questions with specific references, don't try to only focus on the sentence the reference occurs in to save time. The correct answer will play into the overall structure the reference lies within.
Absolutely not, they don't care when you take your LSAT, provided that its not later than their deadline....

I originally chose C for this question. JY says this is just assuming that personal gardens use is increasing, but we don't know what the cause is...
My reasoning was that since waiting for community gardens has gotten longer, this means it was not the produce prices that were causing an increase planting of personal gardens. More people are trying to use community gardens, so they are going to start a personal garden instead.
I suppose I went wrong when I assumed that people would stop waiting in the community garden lines to start their own personal gardens.
However, was I wrong in differentiating between a personal garden (such as one in your home) vs. a community garden?
Or is this choice just wrong because it requires you to make the assumption that people are switching from community gardens to personal gardens?
My inclination is that it is the latter.
You don't need to put your GPA on your resume at all. Law schools will see it on the CAS, so its just redundant to put it on the resume. Also as a heads up, just make sure that your GPA was calculated correctly.
Your average score should be a few points higher than the score you aim to get, just to be safe.
