The most important distinction to make here is that D is talking about anticipating what later artists might do, not who they will be

@AccountsPlayable I got it wrong for the same exact reason. To play the role of devil's advocate... Suppose you're George Martin and you're listening to the final mix of St. Pepper's. He probably anticipated that future ARTISTS would try to do the same thing hence anticipating what later artists would do, not who they will be.

@JosephWendt or the Beatles making Sgt. Pepper's and knowing that once it comes out that will be the thing everyone wants to do......

@ohchanwu911 DISCLAIMER: I'm playing devil's advocate here, and I got it wrong for the same reason. One or more already existing artists (maybe someone who is well-known but is not innovative) is prone to copying breakthrough styles, and these artists in question can anticipate that their (breakthrough) style will be copied... Sort of like predicting that your favorite house music producer will make dubstep because so and so just got super popular. IDK this question was lame. Good luck on the test!

@joemshashaty969 the author never does. it says they can anticipate "subsequent developments in the arts." I guess this is supposed to be an umbrella term that covers actual artists. It is mesleading because of all of the talk about techniques and social changes etc. I got it wrong for this reason.

@camilob95398, it's literally punishing you for the exact thing you're trained to do on this test. Soft.

"It provides that it lacks legal power over the extent of its legal power." So it can't make unilateral decisions? Am I a backwards person? This is plausible as well...

@Kevin_Lin, Yes, exactly. Some of the ones I have watched have a sort of "train-of-thought" commentary. I find that watching those is super helpful for getting the mindset in gear before taking a timed PT.

If you have other suggestions, I would love to hear them. I am here to learn!

Thank you so much!!!

💪 Motivated

Study Buddy in Los Angeles / San Fernando Valley

I’m currently scoring in the 150s on timed PTs, although I tend to perform considerably better when working through individual drills. I mention that just to give an honest picture of where I am in my studying.

I’ve been preparing on my own for a long time, and I keep hearing that having a study partner can be one of the best ways to improve. The last LA-area study group post I found was pretty old, and I’m guessing some of those people may have already taken the test—or might even be in law school by now—so I thought I’d start a new one.

I’d love to find someone who wants to benefit from our respective strengths and weaknesses. I stink at conditional logic and accurately mapping parallel questions. I struggle the least with Reading Comprehension.

I’m located in the Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley area. If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out!

Not at all. I have noticed a trend: people who took a formal logic course as undergraduates have a major advantage on LR, particularly when it comes to conditional and causal reasoning. I began pursuing law without any guidance from my parents or my peers. Had I known that I could take courses that would improve my LSAT performance while earning my bachelor’s degree, I certainly would have taken advantage of that opportunity.

Not sure if that's the case for you, but either way, don't worry. It's an unrepresentative sample ;)

Don't do what I do sometimes, which is letting the test define me...

Anyway, good luck!

Best,

Joseph

😖 Frustrated

Live Takes Module?

Why is there no Live Takes module? These videos are very helpful, especially for quickly reviewing different question types, but I can only find them when I happen to come across one in a question explanation during a drill. This is quite frustrating, and hunting them down wastes time and energy that would be better spent learning from them.

Thanks,

Joseph

@danjpeach96 Actors need cues to know when to speak. you need to know more than just your own lines to act in a play. a spectator could write down one soliloquy. i think its more of an assumption to say an actor did not have a copy.
