I've been noticing that I do worse on the second half of LR sections because I run out of time and the questions get harder. Is it a bad strategy to start with the second half of the test first? I just tried it and did better, but not sure if there's any downsides. I liked that at least when I'm running out of time, the easier questions are typically in the beginning..

A strategy that I just learned about is to drill yourself by doing the first 10-15 questions in a LR section as quickly as you can, if you're looking to increase your time. Perhaps try doing this every single day, multiple times/day. This is the strategy I've found the most helpful when it comes to increasing endurance/speed. Ideally, spending the first 15 q's in 15 min, then spending ~2 min on the last half of the section.
Hey, when drilling do you choose from PTs that you haven't done yet? If so, how do you choose between doing a PT like LSAT or just doing a section of the PT?
Thank you
Doing timed sections in the PTs from 36-50 is a good rule of thumb

Focus on getting the first 10 done in 10 minutes or under. That should afford you enough time to get through all the questions with time to spare. If you don’t have time to spare, there’s an issue with how you’re selecting to skip questions.
you don't get bonus points for getting the hard questions right, you're better off going after the easier questions first.
Im doing LR backwards for this reason and it made me go from a 165 to a 170 pretty consistently. But that's because the 'easier questions' I can get right based off instinct and quickly when the clock is ticking, but when I start with them I always go too slow because I feel like I have time. Its risky because Im risking getting the 'easy' questions wrong, but in my experience, I don't get them wrong when I'm forced to rush them. Test it out for yourself
You want to spend most of your time and energy on the easier questions; which is the first half of the LR section, as they will require less effort to get them correct, for they are not as difficult as the second half.
