Hi! One (relatively) low-stakes suggestion I hear from people on improving my LSAT score is to read more. People say to read law reviews, news articles, science journals, etc. Essentially, read anything that is somewhat challenging.
In my free time at work, I have been reading a lot of NPR articles over the last few weeks, and maybe it's confirmation bias, but I genuinely believe it's improved my analytical thinking and short-term memory. It's been particularly useful right now as I wrap up the Reading Comprehension Modules.
So my question is: What are y'all reading? But even more specifically, what sources? Is there a certain journal or publication that you find interesting? I tend to struggle more with the science passages in RC, so I'll definitely be targeting science-related sources, but I'm really open to anything. Psych, History, Law, Philosophy, etc. ANYTHING.
Ideally, this could be a thread where there's enough variety that anyone can find something for them. Hopefully this post doesn't get lost in the abyss...

Hello! I used to read The Economist and The New York Times for two reasons: they were recommended by many people, and my college provided free student access, so I figured I should take advantage of it.
I frequently delved into the Science and Technology sections, specifically articles about the universe and galaxies. Learning about those topics helped reduce my mental pressure whenever astronomy passages popped up on PTs. I also read a lot about oceans, mountains, fossil discoveries, DNAs, and historical or territorial disputes. I read a pretty diverse range of subjects, with the one exception being finance and current stocks.
Ultimately, while the topic matters, I focused mostly on finding articles that intrigued me enough to keep going, since... I admit that if an article felt too dry or boring, I found myself closing it and find another one.
