My general goal is to get my LR average down to -4 or 5 per section (and i've just achieved this for the first time on my most recent PT), but that was met with by far my worst RC score of -11. I usually drill anywhere from 30-40 LR a day, at about 80-85% accuracy as I continue to improve, I do it faster, and spend less time going over wrong ACs, and I feel as though Im at the point now where my LR is about good to begin to focus on my RC for the last 3.5 weeks before August Lsat, and 7 before September LSAT. I almost never do RC drills, and don't really know how to go about it. Usually when I drill I drill 1 or 2 passages, and I end up doing pretty well, or really bad, usually not in between. I think the main thing thats been bothering me during PTs is I feel as though Im too slow, what would you recommend? Doing 4 passage drills aiming for 35 no matter what?

I totally agree with what was already said! One other thing I would say, is if you have the time, reading academic journals or a novel really helps. The more you are actively reading and comprehending the better your score naturally gets!! My score shot up quite a bit after I read an entire book in one weekend.
As someone who averages about -4 or so on RC, the strategy that has REALLY helped me is sometimes going into a PT I've taken before (long time ago) or an old PT and really breaking down and examining the answer choices based on what the passage would need to say to make the answer choice right. I do this without even looking at the passage. It has trained me to recognize the level of support different answers need. So, when I'm drilling/practicing on RC passages, I can better sense queues for AC's that are too narrow or not grounded in what the passage/low res paragraph was talking about. Hope this little extra drill helps :)
