I've take PT 35-58 (58 this morning), and I am in the frustrating 168-172 range. Prior to the 50s, I was consistently going -2/-3 (with a few -0s here and there) on RC. Besides the games, I would have said that RC was my easiest/most consistent section. However, ever since PT 50, my RC score has just been awful: I've averaged -6 to -7 in this section, which has just brutalized my score (my past 3 or 4 exams have been significantly lower than my average because of this). Today was the most frustrating; I thought I turned a corner and aced the RC section, but I went -6. BR was -5 (which is still not what I am looking for). Any advice? I don't really think the passages in the 50s were that different from the other previous exams.

Agree with this for the most part with a few exceptions. For instance, PT76's comparative.
Haha...are we looking for a silver bullet, here?
The key to improving on RC is learning how to make (or block) inferences based on the passage—just like in LG, and being able to refer to the passage efficiently.
No magic will teach you how to make inferences. But there IS a path forward.
Looking forward to having folks on the webinar!

I think that you may find the most recent RC to be a bit easier. Might want to check, just to see if you are getting a true estimate with the tests you're on currently. For me is was fairly consistent prior to the 50's or so, then got super duper hard, and then got easier after about #67 or so.
@974 Just did!
