Hey guys, I need #help on strategizing for LR sections. I've been studying for some time now, and I know that people say that the more you practice, the more you'll see a pattern in wrong answers and right ones. Idk if it's the fact that I initially took some long breaks in between completing the CC or if I'm just overthinking things, but I have not yet seen this pattern. Any and every tip is welcome, thanks in advance!

Hey @dyalasafi, please don't feel discouraged, this test is definitely learnable. I was in your position a couple of months ago and sought help with discussions as well. The advice I got was stupendous, and I've been applying it to my study routine. If you have not started already, I would very highly recommend you start wrong-answer journaling. I do this now and have seen a great improvement in my understanding of each question type and learning how to approach them. I do this by completing a section, then reviewing by keeping the correct answer choice and analysis hidden and not jumping to look at explanation videos to make me truly think deeply about what it is I didn't get the first time around. Depending on the question type, I then write the following in the notes section: the conclusion of the argument, my answer choice, along with an explanation of why it was wrong, and the answer choice I believe was right, and the reasoning as to why I believe this. After I type all this out, I then look at the explanation for my two answer choices and see if my reasoning was along the same lines as the explanations. In addition to this, smart drilling has been very effective for me as it targets my weaknesses. Here's a link to the advice I received after sharing my concerns: https://7sage.com/discussion/47221/constantly-scoring-12-on-lr?notification_id=ntf_031FJiCOuwOnzQkchH2XsI
Best of luck to you, keep going!
@ANP Thank you sooo much! I have attempted to keep a wrong-answer journal, but haven't been consistent (definitely need to resume). After reading each comment, I'm starting to realize my review is crucial. I've been treating it like an afterthought. Thank you once again!
@ValenciaDunning thank you and yeah I need to be more patient when reading
@danseppi thank you will have to try this out!
Hi @YaraKreshan I had similar issues during the check in phase and didn’t even get to take the test. Please how do you get a chance to retest?
Edit: I found out. Thank you sooo much for making this post.
