i’m in a similar boat — just had my best RC section score ever with a -1! That same exam had -3 in one LR section … and then i missed 10 in the other LR section. Not sure what it was about that section that just wrecked me? Really unclear what next steps are but i’ll blind review and go from there i guess. How have you navigated the big variance in section scores?
@monmon my biggest problem with LR before this was second guessing. I would click the right answer, stare for too long and then convince myself to pick a wrong answer. Biggest thing that helped me was giving myself a rule of never looking at the ACs until I can make a prediction base off the stim alone. For RC it seems like I need to rework my approach to hunting for proof in the text and ruling out ACs more aggressively
@SeanStrauss this was my first time getting -1 on RC so I won’t pretend like I have any wisdom to share haha pretty sure it was mostly luck. I still struggle with Implied questions but progress is in progress! The worst feeling is going through blind review and seeing all of the bars turn from green to red sigh I switched from the right answer to the wrong one and I need to stop psyching myself out! I try to come up with a prediction before looking at the ACs but I will admit I sometimes panic about timing and so then I go into the ACs and hope for the best — not -0 behavior that is for sure lol. Thank you for the response!
congrats!! My scores are coming out the same way where i'm chilling with LR but the RC is what's bringing me down. what do you plan to do to help "bridge the gap" to get to a 170? currently trying to do the same.

@juooper I think I gotta rework how I do my low res summaries or something.
Congrats!
Now all I gotta do is lock in on RC by September
