Since I've started studying for the lsat for the past few months, i hadn't really focused on rc as my biggest area of weakness was LR and now as my exam is coming up in a few weeks, my rc inaccuracy has DOUBLED. I used to get from -6 to -8 and for the past two practice tests it's been -12 which is insane and it's freaking me out. As the rest is creeping up the anxiety and pressure is making my scores get even lower, barely past my diagnostic. I'm really panicked and would share any advice anyone has. I need to get 160+ for my dream law school and the last admission date they really consider is november:(. Now I'm just PT-ing low-mid 150s. :( I got 164 end of september but just steady decline since then :(

Slow down. Try reading one passage as if you and the author are having a conversation. Don't try to remember anything; just take a SINCERE and CURIOUS interest in what your author/pal is telling you and respond to each paragraph with your own observation: "I'll be damned! How do you figure? What did you do next, Roberto?" Slow-the-fuck-down and try that.
I would say focus on quantity over quality, and split your time evenly between RC and LR, or maybe even more on RC if your LR score is ok. You don't want to overpractice and burn out, so focus on just doing 1 or 2 RC drills and really digging into your wrong answers and wrong answer journaling what you got wrong/takeaways for next time. I also find the recorded RC classes really helpful, they go a lot slower but the more you practice deep analysis the better you will be at it under timed conditions! Also just reading more in general in everyday life and stopping often while you're reading to think about structure and main points :)
