In LR, one of the most effective strategies is to categorize your mistakes by question type during review, and then drill the specific types you’re missing.
For example, when reviewing your mistakes in LawHub, I noticed you missed a lot of Flaw questions. A helpful approach for Flaw questions is to ask yourself two questions when evaluating each answer choice: (i) Is this actually present in the argument? (ii) Does this description help the argument, leave it unaffected, or make it worse?
This helps you avoid choosing answers that sound right but don’t actually match the logical structure of the argument.
have very similar performance levels as you and this made me so happy!
i will say one thing has helped me with lr is on my first pass, if i don’t understand the logic or just read the stimulus and have a brain fart, i skip and come back later. i’ve found that trying to force to understand a question i don’t get in the moment just eats up time. that’s helped me save a couple points and even score on some of the level 5s later in the section.
congrats on a new personal best :) keep pushing through! good luck!!
First of all, congratulations on hitting your best score so far!
Just from looking at your breakdown, S1, S3, and S4 all show a cluster of wrong answers at the very end. Are you running out of time and rushing/guessing on those last few? If so, your goal now should be saving time early on for later. Because the first 10-12 questions are generally easier, try to move through them faster so you have a much larger amount of time leftover to tackle those time-consuming, harder questions at the end of the section.
At the same time, I also see some wrong questions from the first half of the LR section, which usually indicate a sign of rushing. It is great to save time early on, but not if it costs you easy points. Make sure you aren't reading too lightly on those early questions.
Also, I highly recommend checking your Analytics page to see what specific question types you are missing. Prioritize those and do timed drills specifically on your weak areas.
Lastly, when you work on your wrong answer journal, ask yourself: 'What can I do next time to not repeat this mistake?' Since you corrected so many questions during your Blind Review, take close note of what you did differently when you had unlimited time versus what you did the first time around. Try to bridge that gap.
