So I've noticed a trend in my own practice drills and sections where I tend to find the higher difficulty LR questions (level 4, level 5) easier to complete and I take the appropriate amount of time on them, whereas easier questions (level 2, 3) I spend 30/40 seconds more per question instead of meeting the target time. Any advice or insight on why this is happening? How can I fix this timing issue?

Not sure if this will help, but I’ve been doing drills of the first 15 Qs of an LR section in 15 minutes. You can create a drill like this by throwing together 15 level 1-3 LR questions, or just doing the first 15 minutes of a section. It’s been helping me a lot. First I tried doing it in 18, 17, 16, etc. I think this helps because for the most part, the first 15 Qs will be the level 1-3s, and it forces me to just pick answers and move on. Good luck!
@NatMan great idea!
@NatMan Thank you! I will try this
This is a challenge im facing too. I second-guess and question myself on questions that aren't tricky, while finally having the skills to overcome more challenging questions. I had to get back to trusting my gut and getting through the first 10 questions by identifying the right answer without even reading the rest of the answers.
@MickeyHaller yes me too! I tend to get more of the easier questions under 15, and sometimes 10 wrong and the harder questions above 18 right. Just going back to fundamentals!
