good to know i am not the only one on the struggle bus HAHA i find the live classes really helpful if you can do them!! or having a study partner to bounce ideas off of, mostly just to break down the q-stem and the argument (premise and conclusion).
In general, I think the key to LR is to slow down and understand the question (stem, stimulus, and choices). Then, you see patterns in answer choices (e.g. they love just mashing words together in a way that seems intelligent but is actually useless), and the timing comes more easily.
I've been trying to really break these questions down in non-timed settings, so I can focus on the details. Once I am consistently getting them right, then I'll try and work on speed. I also am trying to drill a bunch and revisit core curric lessons :)
I think you just have to drill them, reflect on your answer choices, and re-watch videos when needed. I’ve been trying to improve my conditional reasoning specifically, also when I do drills, I’ve been setting the difficulty to 4& under. If I take my time, I can usually get them right, so it helps me not run into anything super difficult yet. Once I feel I have it down, then I’ll start adding the level 5.
