I would apply this cycle since I'd get the score back end of November. Another thing that I was told was to register for the January test before November so that I don't feel so much pressure in November. Retaking it in January maybe be my next option because I definitely want to apply this cycle. Regardless of what school I end up in, I could still make the most of it and strive to be a great lawyer.

Hi, I am in a very similar situation because I quit my job earlier this year to study full time and took the June and September tests to score around yours as well. I am planning to retake in November to see if I can keep my test anxiety aside and prove to myself that I can do it. Because in all honesty, I know I can and so can you. I would recommend taking it one more time before you apply this cycle to see if you can overcome the hurdle. If not, you could always push it to the next cycle, but at least you won't regret not trying once more. Sending so much positive energy your way because I know how absolutely crushing it can be!! Hang in there-we've got this!

@IshikaShukla Thank you! And no I get it-I feel the same about RC compared to LR since the only thing holding me back on a plateau is the RC. Good luck to you as well!

@IshikaShukla Thank you! I have tried low res summaries as well lol. Is there something that helped you with picking the right answer choice? I seem to struggle with answer deliberation when doing it timed.

😖 Frustrated

Struggling with RC Timed in PTs.

I have been struggling with RC (around -11 on average) which is significantly worse than my LR (around -3/5). I've tried doing everything including front-loading, changed pacing, focused on answer evaluation, untimed practice, 10-minute passages, 9-minute passages, focused on big picture questions while reading, etc. Is there I should do to improve answer deliberation on passages? Most of my wrong answers are on implied/inference questions or strengthen/weaken based on the passage. I have also done focused practice targeting these question types. My RC blind reviews are around -5/6. I'm hoping to get my timed to be around my untimed/BR score. Appreciate all the advice!
