I felt like I did much better with RC before starting to train. My diagnostic in RC was -5 vs. between -8 and -10 now.

My LR is, on the whole, much much better than before I started studying, but my gains in score have been marginal because my RC has dropped off.

In studying for LR, I realized that reading/translation/repetition seemed to help me the most, and I'd love to tackle a similar strategy for RC, but just doing RC passages over and over with Low Res summaries isn't helping me a whole lot. Still missing one or two per passage that have to do with something super specific I glazed over on my readthrough. I feel like I struggle with balancing reading for detail and reading for structure/concepts -- it's often I get one or the other on a first read (all I have time for obviously).

Any tips for making RC improvement more manageable?

    This is like my passion topic. What you are struggling with, I struggle with myself, and..yeah, dark times, lol. Then, I had this epiphany (not joking) with the help of 7sage gurus, realized what I was doin in my active reading, was as a reader instead of part of the conversation where we engage with the psg almost as an dinner partner, where the guy sitting across from you is talking your ears off, but you are not merely comprehending the conversation(psg), but an active participant. This also makes the psg afterwards feel like a conversation that you don't have to memorize to relay it, and using this hack took me to a level on RC I didn't think was even possible.
