I am really struggling with this question and I honestly think it's because I may have misunderstood the stimulus. My understanding is that milk, the final product that we see at the store, requires the use of a bottle and raw milk. The bottler is the person who purchases raw milk from farmers and uses it to create the jug of milk that we see at the grocery store. The stimulus proceeds to tell us that complaints about the bottlers pulling up the prices tend to happen when the milk bottler has had to purchase raw milk from farmers, at a higher price than usual. The author of the stimulus uses this to show that it's not the milk bottler's fault that the price of milk at the grocery store has gone up, but rather the blame should be on the farmer. If the farmer hadn't pulled up the price of raw milk then the bottler would not have had to pull up the price of their final product (i.e. the milk jug at the store).

The word "markup" was something I interpreted to mean revenue, not sure if that's actually what was meant by that. From that I drew out:

Scenario 1: Price of raw milk goes up

Price of milk at grocery store:

Goes up

Markup:

small

Scenario 2: Price of raw milk falls

Price of milk at grocery store:

Goes down

Markup:

greatest

I ended up choosing answer choice D, but it was not the accredited answer. I would greatly appreciate if someone could read through my interpretation of the stimulus and help me figure out where I went wrong.

Thanks in advance!

So I'm 43 years old, with 2 little ones. Have been a teacher for the past 11 years. I am super frustrated, have been studying for the past 5 years off and on, stuck on lower 40's and with a low gpa (2.5) . I don't want to go to a fancy school, I don't care about that, I just want my JD and pass the bar in Texas. Unfortunately when I was younger didn't take school seriously, no career goals hence the gpa. I don't want to quit but failure hurts and dragging my family is painful, although my wife is very supportive. I can be a performing clown and making a living on the street she'll tell me as long as your happy it's ok. I thought I wanted this but now I have doubts. I want to be a law student because I KNOW it's challenging and will help me grow, and will be something I can use to help people on a different capacity. Teaching has been a beautiful blessing but now I want to grow and I want to know how it feels to slay this dragon! If you have solid wise encouragement or good support to give this dream up please post. I don't want to waste time with inconsiderate responses, I'm too old for that. ha! Also,just started the 7sage courses a couple of weeks ago. Thank you'll I appreciate any good advice.

I studied full time for three months and scored 160 after a PT Avg of 167 and BR 171. The official score was just a point above my diagnostic. I really believe I can break 170, but this is pretty disappointing. Should I re-take in October or November?

We know many of you have wanted to try the new Flex format with only three sections without a workaround like making three problem sets or just leaving a section blank. So, we are happy to announce that we have just rolled out a Flex simulator option for every PrepTest (all 95)! If you don't see the new option, try doing a force refresh.

To use it with a PrepTest, check the box labeled "Simulate Flex" next to the PrepTest name in the digital tester. This will skip the second LR section. The scaled scores generated from Flex mode uses the same methodology as our Flex Score Convertor. Because no one outside of LSAC knows how Flex is scored, this is just an educated guess. See the screenshot below:

You can apply the flex option to any PrepTest that is not completed. So you can switch to Flex if you are still doing the test or doing blind review, but not if you already scored your test. If you already entered answers or other data for the second LR section, then the Flex option will erase any data for that section when you score the test.

Please let us know if you encounter any issues.

Still cannot believe my score -- Thank you so much JY (you're a beast) and the 7sage community. Anything is possible with 7sage!

Hello everyone,

I am currently doing some LR problems and I've had a recurring problem. When writing out conditional statements, I am sometimes confused whether a subject is part of the conditional statement or it is a subset of another item. This is best illustrated in an example. On preptest 21, LR 2, section 3 question 22 the stim states: "Anatomical bilateral symmetry is a common trait..." When doing the problem I wrote: ABS --> C. However, in his explanation JY simply put C, rather than the conditional relationship. So how do I know when to write a conditional or when to indicate a trait/subset by itself (ABS is common = C - ABS vs ABS--->C)?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm trying to set my study schedule for the Nov 14 test and it's stating that it will take me 1.3 years to complete the course. I've tried to change the weekly hours, but I'm still getting crazy study schedules. Suggestions?

Hello. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around why the correct answer choice is A. The second sentence of the stimulus says that NO OTHER ORGANISM has a greater resistance to cancer than sharks. Answer Choice A states that "no organism resists cancer better than sharks do, but some resist cancer as well as sharks." This is true according to the analysis given for the second sentence in the stimulus, and therefore it does not match the question stem criteria of selecting an answer that could be true EXCEPT.

Consequently, I don't understand why answer choice B is incorrect.

Hey everyone, I am currently at a loss about how to explain what the LSAT is to someone who has never heard about it. I am trying to take less shifts at work explaining that I am overwhelmed with LSAT prep (taking aug test) along with my other two university courses. I feel like those who have never taken the test or prepped for it just don't understand the difficulty and instead seem doubtful of the workload a student who is prepping has and see it as an excuse.

Super random question I know, but its something I just don't know how to explain hahaha.

Thanks!!

Does anyone know if it's likely that the October LSAT will be LSAT Flex? Also for LSAT Flex, are you allowed to use scrap paper for reading comp notes since you can't really annotate on the computer besides highlighting?

I don't want to bomb the October one and have to wait until the spring to take again. Does LSAC frown upon people who take it more than twice?

I took the July Flex test and scored a 167. I was pretty nervous, so I think I had a harder time than I would on my PTs but I was generally scoring between 166-171. My goal score was a 168/169 to hit the medians at most of the schools I'm looking at and a170 for my reaches. I plan on applying in early October so I'd need to take the test again in about a month (August) to get my applications in. Is it worth the time I would spend studying for a couple more points (and the stress of only having a month to study) or should I focus on other parts of my application? I have a 4.1 GPA and am looking at T20 schools.

I've been doing straight PTs/BRing for about a month now. I'm planning on taking the August test so am now taking tests from the 72-81 range and then will take some newer ones after that. I've been really struggling with the tests in this range. I've been averaging 169-172, but now I've gotten several scores in the 164-167 range. I'm looking for advice on how to get out of this slump and get back to my normal range especially since I want to score 170+ on test day. Any advice would be appreciated!!

Should I take full tests or should I isolate Logic Game sections and fool proof after. I am currently getting consistent 15/23 questions right for LG and want to get to mastery by my October Test. I tried drilling a few sections this week and it somewhat helped but I don't know how to get to mastery. Any advice would help and I am sure many have asked such questions before. Thanks!

I can't decide whether or not to sign up for the October LSAT. I got my July FLEX scores back today and I made a 155. However, I was aiming for a 160+ as I was PT-ing in the 160-162 range. Do you think it is worth retaking? My top choice has a 158 median score. Additionally, would I be able to improve that much till October? Please send any tips you can my way. Additionally, since October results won't come back until about Mid-October, is that considered too late to apply? I don't want to lose a spot because of something like this.

Thanks

Are we allowed to use full screen (f11) on chrome during the test? Thanks!

I just received my lsat flex score and got a 164. My average is a 166, but I have scored 167,168,169, and 172 on previous practice tests. That being said I also have scored 162,163, and 164. So my actual test score was on the lower side of my practicing but not far off. Anyway, I have a 3.98 gpa and am really hoping for WashU Law or Notre Dame as my second option. So my question is, what do you guys think my chances are with WashU? I'm going to apply early decision since they are my number one and give great scholarships for those admitted ED, but I'm not entirely confident I'd get accepted. Their lsat range is 162-169-170. So I am above the bottom 25 and my gpa is above the top 75. I could take the test again in August, but I will be starting school and work, so I won't have an abundance of time to devote to the test. I would hate to test again and score lower.

what would you do if you were me? I feel confident in Notre Dame but also don't know how much scholarship I could get there. I need the money for any school because I can't afford on my own $60k a year for tuition.

thank you for any advice you can give me in advance

Hi,

Since the update to 7sage on Tuesday, I have no longer been able to access course or any materials other than discussion board and grader from the app via iPad. Anyone else having this issue? Please advise.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy about my score and I'm aware it's above the median for my target schools (Columbia, Harvard, Penn, NYU) but my GPA is weak (3.6 from an Ivy, not in the sciences). I did do an honors thesis, though I'm not sure how much that even counts for and I've been working already for four years if that's a plus.

This is my third time taking the lsat - first round I choked in September during the infamous flowers game and came out with a 164 and second time was the June flex and I had technical difficulties but still released my score to get a sense of how I did on the other sections.

I'm currently signed up for August but I'm debating whether it's risky to retake?? I have been PTing 173-178 consistently but not sure if it's worth it. Do I have a decent chance of getting into my target schools with my score/GPA?

Hi all, posting for advice on admissions and LSAT retake. I signed up for June and July tests, scored a 166 on June and was disappointed to get back a 165 on July today. I really had hoped for at least a 168 on July, but here we are.

My question at this point is whether I should keep studying and take one more time in October and apply as soon as those scores come back or if I should apply with my 166 on first day applications open and retake in October once I have already applied? I know that I can get at least into that high 160s range from PTs and I have been consistently BRing 173-174 on my PTs before July. For reference, I have above a 4.0 GPA and solid resumé and would really like to shoot for T14 (maybe with at least a partial scholarship) or a little lower ranked with full ride.

I noticed that when I add up the elapsed time for each individual question of LR sections after taking a them on 7 sage (times are available under the results page) they do not add up to the time allotted for the section (34:40/26 questions). Instead, it comes to 29 minutes or so. Is the timing section under the results page reliable?

If I am going to use this final fall semester of mine to boost my GPA, when should I submit my law school application (transcripts, LSAT score, letters of rec)? I am not aiming for a really good law school, an average one is fine for me.

Anyone else following this thread on Reddit? Apparently LSAC called a few people today (the day before scores are released...) who took the July Flex to tell them that their score “got lost”. I’m registered for August and am considering a move to October since there’s a coupon. What’re your thoughts?
