@TeeS. Hi, I know you weren't asking me but the LH is a great resource for you. The writing isn't condescending, she explains everything very thoroughly and if you take your time working through it you will be rewarded for your hard work. The key here is to take your time and not move on from a chapter until you 100% understand it. Scoring in 130s suggests you will benefit from reading really any LR textbook. For RC, the biggest thing you can do to help yourself is to pick up reading as a hobby.
Good luck, you will do amazing on this test!!!
To improve accuracy on SA you definitely need to be able to identify the argument parts! Once you see how the premises and conclusion are disconnected, it will become an easier question type.
For your prediction, try to think “what could prove this conclusion 100% true?”
The answer to that question is your prediction going into the answer choices. Even if the answer choices don’t match your prediction 100%, just remember that the correct answer choice is one that would prove the conclusion be true, (probably by bridging the gap between the premises and conclusion).
Like, if the stimulus says ‘space is ugly therefore we can’t explore space’, a SA would probably say something like ‘no place that is ugly can ever be explored’.
See how the SA proves my conclusion true by addressing the fact that there’s no relation between space being ugly and space being unexplorable?
I hope this makes sense lol I’m just sharing what I learned from reading the LH.
Congratulations! your progress is inspiring :)
I do have a question or so, as I'd love to learn from you!
How did you structure your study days, especially as you got closer to your test?
How did you 'gradually work' on your weaknesses? (if it was drilling, how many questions/times a week?)
Do you have any tips on dealing with constantly thinking about this test? I feel stress when I'm not studying, which has even interrupted my sleep before. SOS haha.
I'm currently scoring 160low, with BR 170low, and the thing hurting my score seems to be conditional and flaw questions. However, I'm not sure how much time to dedicate to just those.
Thank you and congratualtions once more!!!

In my experience, most of the time when I get a level 4-5 wrong it’s actually because I did not follow the LH method (maybe due to rushing, losing focus etc). Her method has been pretty solid for me so far :)
