Focusing on RC helped me go from scoring 155-160 to scoring 165-170. It's easy to focus on LR because it's kind of fun and feels rewarding, but if you can limit the errors you make on RC, then your work on LR will shine through.
Everyone studies differently, but for me, doing single RC sections slowly and not submitting until I'm confident in the answer I've selected, regardless of how much time I've used, took me from -6 avg for RC in PTs to a -2 avg, which really boosted my PT scores.
Also, it sounds simple but it really changed RC for me is advice I read on a discussion on this board somewhere that advised me to focus on reading the passage slowly and understanding every last line before you move on to the next. It may take longer to read the passage, but the questions should be perceptually easier if you have a good understanding of the text.
Obviously, I'm making some serious assumptions based on nothing more than a screenshot, so please feel free to disregard anything I've said lol. Good luck!
@KeaganSchmeckpeper Thank you so much, this is very helpful. Super kind to send all this also. Definitely agree about the RC, will lock in on that the next few months. My scores over the summer were 165-168 so I think it has to do a lot with the RC fall off I've seen. Best of luck to you too!
