A quick definition of sparsim:

Sparsim: A word that means scattered or here and there. It was used in the past when someone did damage to a property in different places, and the owner couldn't just get back the specific spots that were damaged. Instead, they could get back the whole property. But if the damage was only in one part of the property and it could be separated from the rest, then only that part would be given back to the owner.

A more thorough explanation:

Sparsim means scattered or here and there. It was used in the past to describe situations where something was damaged in different places. For example, if a wood had damage in different areas, the whole wood would be considered damaged and the owner could recover for the waste. The same would apply to a house with damage in different rooms. However, if the damage was only in one area and could be separated from the rest, only that part would be considered damaged. This term is not commonly used today.

@madollyy: I focus on bringing your GPA up as much as possible in the last semester because once you graduate you cannot change that. So don't study for the LSAT next semester if you think that would impair your ability to get straight A's. As for LSAT studying, I would recommend LSAT Demon (ik controversial), the Loophole, and Reading Comp Hero.

@texaslawhopefully: oh I’m not sure hahaha im just basing off of my friend who got a tutor bc she was rly struggling and it seemed like it helped her!

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.

that makes sense for sure

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!

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
