I did it!! My first drill where I got all right on the first try :-) My intention isn't to brag- but I want to give context that I've been REALLY struggling with reading comprehension, but after really pushing myself it's finally paying off! To everyone else who's struggling- keep pushing!! It'll pay off!!
@LizbethL I'm the same way, I understand what the question stem is asking for, but I always have trouble understanding the passage clearly, especially the wordy and confusing ones.
i'm feeling very discouraged. I do really well on the You Try's that are presented previously in the section and then on these drills I perform terribly. Does anyone have an idea why. I feel like I understand what I'm being asked and reading but get more than half wrong. Is this normal? #help #feedback
@lzagrodnik It makes sense given that before the "you try" questions, Kevin breaks down the passage piece by piece. We also have all the time in the world to analyze each paragraph. So, we have a strong understanding of the passage before even going into the questions.
@PowerUp_Tutoring Yes, it seems like these end-of-chapter drills are treated just like drills that we can generate. I've noticed people referencing certain questions and their text only to find that my question is entirely different. I didn't know for the longest time, either!
Consistently scoring 8/12 but then doing well with BR. I seem to narrow my choices down to two final potential answers, but fail to trust my gut about the correct one. I need to work on slowing down and understanding that there is only 1 correct answer.
I love that my first passage was about Asian American poetry from Hawaii, and my second passage was about Mexican American literature -- two kinda niche topics that I have spent extensive time reading/writing about. Thank you, LSAT RC section, for occasionally providing some fun reading material!
7/13 -> 11/13. If I would stop picking the trap answer when the correct answer is in my top 2, I would be acing this. It's like during blind review, I read the question and interpret it differently and immediately see why my original answer is wrong - just need to figure out how to do it during the actual thing and not during blind review.

Awesome! Keep going. Speed will improve with more practice, too.
4/14 wow I'm good
Dude, I sucked at this Drill. Anyone else? I need to read the passage more thoroughly.

@lzagrodnik Literally same! Got 100% on nearly all the "You Try" parts, then I get a 60% when it comes down to drills...idk
@lzagrodnik I think I would just say the difference may be due to the support given in the You Try Passages. I'm having the same experience.

11/13 Honestly so excited!!!!
Low Res summaries and recaps are helping, now I need to target time..... sighsss.
this is so stupid. Knowing science is such an advantage
8/15 really sucks this far into training. I have to get better
14/16!! I'll take it!!!
well shit
9/14
BR: 11/14
timing is still bad FAHHHHH
if you got the passage w 12 questions… group hug
@Emily1863 Wait we get different passages?

@Emily1863 yeah that second passage was foul
First 14/14! I'm making progress. RC has been kicking my ass, compared to LR.
Way over time, though. Not sure how to get that down - hoping it just comes with time and experience.
RC used to feel like a black box to me. This series has been so helpful.
15/16, 4 min under time. But the question I missed I didn't flag, so I likely wouldn't have gotten it if I went back through and reviewed.
should I be celebrating 9/12? UGH

9/13 :( and BR 13/13 :) HOWEVER my timing is horrid :(((((((((

8/13, getting better but still not great:( didn't do blind review but I should have
@IsabelleSantiago I got the exact same score.
Just got my first 100% on RC drill, on medium. So stoked!
10/14
13/14 og; 14/14 br thank you Jesus & 7 sage! :)
@Brianna101 amen sis
12/14! 13/14 BR.... lets gooooo!
@JosephWendt That's amazing! Was your first go timed?
@PowerUp_Tutoring it was not, but I finished it on time anyway :)
the passage on fractals was unreasonably fucking difficult.
