Video Explanations Missing?

Hi, I have noticed that as I progress through the modules, the availability of video explanations is getting more scarce. I am not sure how I can effectively understand and pinpoint where I am making mistakes without these videos. Is there any other place I can find video explanations? Thanks!

Hi @Sakshi-Hasija,

Video explaination do become more scarce as you progress in your studies, and this is by design. It would obviously be impossible to record a video explanation for every question out there, so LSATMax prioritizes videos for those questions you will encounter first, and the ones used to teach concepts.

As you study, this is the "resource hierarchy" I teach my private students to use when they don't understand an answer/concept.

1. Tutoring - This will always be the fastest, most effective, and best tailored help you can get. Not a sales pitch for tutoring hours I promise, it's just honestly the best way to learn (I used them when I was a student.)

2. Video explanations - These do a great job of teaching concepts, and are the primary tool for most students.

3. Written Explanations - When videos are not available, these are the next quickest option.

4. Message Boards - If you do not understand the written explanations, these boards are a great way to get bespoke answers to your specific questions. Keep in mind we get hundreds of questions a day, sorted by recency, so if your question hasn't been answered please don't take it personally, simply reply in-thread with something like "awaiting response." This will bump your question back to the top of our cue.

5. Discord - One of the newest resources, we brought the Discord channel online to help take some workload off these message boards as they're so busy (which is great!) There you can collaborate with other students, ask questions, and usually get live responses (there are way more students than us tutors, so response times will be much better!) We also have tutor moderators making sure advice shared across the Discord channel is accurate.

Hope this helps!
