Today I decided to implement a new strategy for LR. As soon as I choose an answer and I'm fairly confident, I move on. In recent practice I tend to skim each answer choice again and reread the answer I selected a few times. I would also briefly skim the question itself. On this section I finished all the questions with 5 full minutes remaining which allowed me to go back and look at a few of the questions I had flagged. This suggests to me that my initial instincts are correct more often than not, and spending that extra time reviewing is mostly unnecessary. I'm feeling extremely motivated. I test in October!

You will surely do well. Good luck in your October test!
@Alberto_Sanchez thank you so much!
I think I am going to try your strategy for myself.
Sounds like a great strategy! I'll give it a chance.
I always wanted to do this but I always stop myself before I move on after quickly choosing an answer. Like i will suddenly look at another answer that i think might have better wording and then I'm just stuck there until i'm sure i got it right before moving to the next
@teowmomm That was my issue. I forced myself this time and was not feeling great. That's why I thought I had missed 5!
@teowmomm nice, I think it's all practice, I do agree that this is a good strategy tho, probably combined with flagging obviously hard questions
Great advice! Good luck in October!
good strat
yayy goodluck and congrats!!!v -2 is amazing:) i am going to try this for my next timed section- thanks!
@Pri Good luck!!
I second this!! I good rule I heard under timed pressure is be 60% confident and move on. It has served me well :) It was scary at first to not reread every question 100 times but once you reach a good point in studying you have to just trust you're foundations!
