Phase 1 (your first ~400 questions): read the guidance, then answer. No clock.

Question type

Main Point

The one idea it tests

Pick the summary that covers the whole passage, not one paragraph.

The basic logic

The main point ties the career's range to the early craft and to the big idea the author keeps returning to. Wrong answers grab one detail, add a cause the author never gives, or praise in ways the author does not.

Tiny words that decide it

“whole”
“each part”
“covers”

Playground logic

The kid passage's top bun: Rosa's whole career, from quilts to a treehouse, grows out of quilting, which taught her to blur inside and outside and to build one whole.

Step 2 · The kid passage

This question belongs to Passage 2 (Questions 8–14). Read its kid passage and structure guide first: Aunt Rosa, From Inside Out →

Step 3 · Try the model question

Which best sums up the whole passage about Aunt Rosa?

Step 5 · Work the real question

Open PrepTest 147, Section 2, Question 8 in your official copy from LSAC (for example in LawHub) and read it there.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 8 in your official copy and answer it first.

Write a one-sentence summary that touches every paragraph before you look. Check each choice for coverage (does it reach the last paragraph?), for invented causes or reactions, and for distortions of the career order. The right answer may be long; length is fine if every piece is in the passage.
