Self-paced
Hi,
I'm following the comprehensive core cirrciuylum and just finished the LR section. I just started Reading Comp. Should I just follow the plan exactly as it is and focus on Lr for now or should I start doing LR questions as well? I dont want to forget a lot of the LR content while I study for reading comp. Any advice or guidance would be great. Thank you

Are you at your goal score with LR on practice sections?
Usually I do a section a day, alternative between RC and LR, with some curriculum as a warmup
@Lillia555 I haven even started the practice sections yet. I'm just going through the curriculum and lessons all the way through

for me, I go through a section a day. In three weeks my sections are often 165-170 range so it’s working for me. I chew on the curriculum in bite sized pieces, sometimes going linear sometimes going forward and back.
If you haven’t even done a full LR section, it’s not possible to know if you have the score you want and are able to apply the skills you’ve learned.
Since you haven’t practiced in earnest outside of the context of the tutorials, I’d recommend that you start practicing section asap, with the blind review and everything.
@Lillia555 Thank you so much for your advice!
@shahrukhChaudhry good luck, and if you have to go back and forth to review the tutorial again, do not fear. learning LR especially is non-linear, and its a back and forth motion you testing and checking your own instincts against totally different types of problems. And sometimes just the ways our brain works, a question thats hard for me might be easy for you and vice versa.
Practicing the real sections allows you to train your gut reactions and instincts under the time pressure, and doing the blind review allows you to totally have the time to think deeply. And still reviewing the ones you got wrong of course even after unlimited time, you can just watch the video on it (I do) if I still got it wrong in blind review.
