A quick definition of American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers:

The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) is a group that helps protect the rights of people who create music. They make sure that when music is played in public, the people who made it get paid for their work. ASCAP is one of the groups in the United States that helps make sure that musicians and songwriters get the credit and money they deserve for their hard work.

A more thorough explanation:

The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) is a performing-rights society in the United States. It is responsible for licensing and monitoring the public performance of musical works that are not part of a dramatic production on behalf of the copyright owners.

For example, if a radio station wants to play a song on the air, they need to obtain a license from ASCAP to do so. ASCAP then collects fees from the radio station and distributes them to the copyright owners of the song.

Another example would be a live performance of a song at a concert. The venue where the concert is held would need to obtain a license from ASCAP to allow the performance of the song. ASCAP would then collect fees from the venue and distribute them to the copyright owners of the song.

Overall, ASCAP plays an important role in protecting the rights of music creators and ensuring that they are fairly compensated for the use of their works.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
Yeah, that's fair! For some people it can help a lot. I'm just saying in general I don't think it is necessary unless you are trying to finetune a very specific area (or get to the high 170s because that is another thing in and of itself) OR are just terrible at the test. I tutor the test and I find that most people can improve just as much through self-study.

i think for her it was a lack of discipline more than anything else tbh. she could not get herself to meaningfully study on her own

I've finished all my major requirements, so I'm taking pretty much all electives next semester. Keeping one major specific class bc I'm majoring in it for a reason haha. But I'll be pretty free to study and try and improve my GPA. I will try self study first, see where that gets me. If that doesn't work I'll look into tutoring!
the way there probs won't be another wave until after thanksgiving LMFAO

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)
