IMPORTANT: Each RC lesson that uses a real RC question now has a "Quickview" button at the top! So anyone who wants to look at the question first before the video breakdown should click that button for every lesson.
You got this, have faith in yourself! If you’re studying reading comprehension, you’re already ahead of likely 90% of the entire USA. 90th percentile is a pretty good starting point!
@PowerUp_Tutoring It's an exaggeration of the statistic that about half of the US is functionally illiterate, paired with the -- unfortunate -- seemingly downward trend of overall US reading comprehension. I'm definitely not quoting an exact statistic, thankfully!
Percentiles and statistics are good for motivation for my own brain -- that is, learning that an LSAT score is within the 90th percentile of all test takers, for instance -- so I thought it'd do us a little good to introduce some social commentary as well as provide some encouragement.
I recommend reading Marx's Capital. Not only will RC feel like Dr Seuss in comparison, you'll know a heckuva lot more about how the economy really works.
#feedback This is a wonderful introduction and I appreciate the explanations of the structure of the module and the test layout. I think this intro is really helpful in preparing many people for success in 7sage's RC lessons and the test. Providing the context of how each lesson is set out will better allow me and others to learn in context as opposed to trying to apply context after the fact. Unlike leaning in context, applying context after the fact is confusing, time consuming, and often ineffective.
What are some recommendations of websites or places where I can find some readings I should look at? Would love to deepen and strengthen my reading knowledge!
Thanks for this video! .... The interface for the August 2026 Exam and later is markedly different than as shawn in the video; in particular, the highlight embedded in the passage when the question makes specific mention of a phrase is gone when you do a prep test in law hub, now. I really, really am saddened by the new interface from LSAC, especially as a person who uses options in the old interface to overcome ADHD struggles.

LSAT September 2025 lets go! Praying for my 170+
I'm aiming for August but might do September to give myself more runway
Good luck.

#feedback The lesson time is stated to be 8 minutes, but the video is over 11 minutes long

@madeinkeaven is this a statistic you are referring to or an expression?

How's that 180 coming along :)?
@madeinkeaven Love that! We need to encourage each other more!
Ooooo colors

@j_dubya_d Most communists I've met haven't read Capital lol. Capital is an EXTREMELY laborious read. Good luck to anyone taking it on.
@MPFerrari There is a new translation of Vol 1 and it isn't difficult to read at all. I don't think reading Marx is like reading Hegel.
#feedback Please add subtitles back for this video! I turned cc on but still I didn't see any subtitles for this video
@linjingyujd23 me too, I can’t find the CC

Great introduction - I can already tell how wonderfully comprehensive the RC lessons will be and looking forward to it :)

#feedback i think closed captions are missing on this video

#feedback had trouble with the CC. They were turned on but no wording was popping up on my screen
just subscribed to The Economist thank u
@vivi 25 bones a month for a subscription is kinda steep idk
@RaymanMartinez I got a student discount!!:)
#feedback the lawhub review is dated here - pretty sure the blue highlights are gone as mentioned by Kevin on the podcast
@DannyH28 Yeah, we'll get this updated.
will the highlight features still be availible on the new LSAT tests?
@ChristopherSpencer i think so! it was available for the june exam
What websites or other resources can I use to read up on abstract concepts to improve my reading? LMK!
