😖 Frustrated

I just scored a 161 on PT155.

Hey all, I have been doing better in LR but am still struggling RC. For reference I am trying to improve my timing in RC as I usually have very little time on the last section regardless of order.

I think my biggest issues are science and oddly enough comparative passages.

Any tips people have to improve RC would be great!

    Following the 7Sage tutors on their advice in the wrong answer explanations on the comparative passages really helps. After I started reading passage 1 eliminating answers then reading passage 2 and selecting answers my RC score improved a lot. For passages with hard topics in general I found that slowing down counterintuitively helps. But I found this tip only works when you start reading in the "right way." So before I start the lsat or any section I write down reminders of what my brain needs to pick up during the read: main point, purpose of passage, purpose of paragraphs, different povs, authors attitude. Last tip is a personal tip but I find that if there is a difficult to understand science phenomenon that they explain in the passage they are for sure going to ask about it in an implied or stated question. That is why slowing down and rephrasing in the head, works at least for me.
