I would kiss every person working at 7sage if I could. I can't believe my eyes I'm shaking. Thank you for all the resources! When I was completely starting out w/ no idea what to do, this was the site that I found myself on. I doubt I could have pulled it off w/o this place.

I focused on 3 ways to improve RC:
First was breaking down the questions I was getting right and wrong frequently and "immersing" myself in explanations for the question types I got wrong often. Even if I got a particular question right, if it was of the type I got wrong often I'd go online and find 4-5 different explanations of it. I did this over and over again each time I took a section or a PT until I started to do better on those question types. It was important for me to find multiple explanations: usually several of them didn't "click" for me, I had to find the one that did. Once I did this a lot I noticed the way I thought about those question types would shift. I'd have a better idea of what to look for, what answers were going to be tricks, etc.
Second I learned to speed read. I did this a couple of ways, but the main one was using an app called "Spreeder" which I'd say sped up my reading by about 30-40%. This would usually give me a couple extra minutes on the RC, which was huge for me. At first I struggled to finish under time, but once I got faster at reading, I would usually have 4-5 minutes left to circle back on questions that gave me some issues.
Third, I did a lot of Blind Review. In my experience, Blind Review seems to be most helpful for Reading Comprehension: after all having extra time to re-read or re-scan a passage helps you uncover new things you may have missed/not understand on your first pass. Blind Reviewing RC helped me really grasp some of the mistakes I was making: For example, I would often waste a lot of time making notes on the textual, literal meaning of the words instead of say... the Author's Purpose or their tone. But when I did Blind Review I noticed I'd basically never flag those kinds of questions as "unsure" and I'd never really change my answers on questions like that. I was getting them right on my first try, and struggling on the more interpretive questions. So changing my notes was key to making sure I was using my time effectively.
Hey there--congratulations, you're an amazing inspiration! Similar to the post right above mine, if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear more about what exactly you did to improve on your RC score.
Congrats! When you get a second, can you go into a little more detail re: the RC drills you did? Did you just read the passage and only do the question types you were having trouble with? I'm in a similar position with regard to RC (i.e., I usually miss specific question types and I want to hone in on those), and I'd love any advice you might have on how to structure practice.

Congratulations! If it's not too much trouble, would you mind sharing a link or direction to the different system online that led to the boom, perfect every PT' for logic games?! Sounds like it would be worth checking out!
I feel like I'm going to let some people down here because it's not that amazing of a secret :neutral:
So when I started I used Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer and I was really struggling with grouping and hybrid games. My issue was I couldn't quickly do them while also tracking the groups in a way that made sense (the subscripting just wasn't working for me).
So the systems I found here and on a couple other LSAT Explanations that involved a different way (like this one from Khan Academy: https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/lsat/lsat-lessons/analytical-reasoning-video-lessons/v/analytical-reasoning--video--mixed-setup--lesson) which just made more sense to me, suddenly I wasn't spending 15+ minutes on Hybrid Games anymore. I sort of adapted this setup a bit but yeah that's really it. I found the LSAT Trainer alright for LR and RC but the LG just made no sense for me.
WOW! I am blown away by this... incredible! CONGRATULATIONS
Congrats! That's incredible!
