I've reached the point where I consistently score -0/-1 (-1 is usually due to carelessness, if anything) on LG. How do people suggest I shift my attention more to LR and RC without faltering on LG? (FYI, I have been mainly doing older LGs, like in the 30s-40s. When do they get more 'mainstream', i.e. less experimental?)

Do I PT and add LR/RC as my fifth and/or sixth sections? Should I drill? Is it advisable for me to do 4 or 5 of the same sections in one go (with a break in between)? Should I be focusing on LG in addition to the sections I do during PTs? Any other ideas?

    Come to webinars, watch webinar videos, and request additional webinars on topics you're interested in :)

    Sure!

    Drilling is usually "meh" after you've already learned question type-specific strategies. At worst, it's a way for you to reinforce bad habits.

    Sounds like LG is on point ... Wouldn't worry too much unless data from later tests indicates otherwise?

    Well first, stop taking PTs!! Your PTs are an extremely valuable and finite resources, and you must study logic before using them. I highly recommend the 7Sage curriculum for this, but even the worst prep books are better than nothing. I think it's smart not to set a schedule- you're ready when you're ready. But do develop some type of strategy.

    @jhaldy10325 With both LR and RC, I've been primarily studying them through PTs. I might do specific sections once in a while, but I don't have a set schedule or strategy. I wanted to get LG out of the way since it's the easiest to improve on. (I studied last summer albeit lazily, whereas this summer, I am doing much more thorough BR and I picked up studying in the beginning of May)

    Well, how have you studied for LR so far?
