What are you doing when you read these passages? If you're not improving at all, you need to change something about how you're studying. It's hard to say what if you don't know exactly what you're struggling with.
Focus on doing single untimed passages and blind reviewing them. After each paragraph, stop reading and summarize what you've read up to that point. Take notes on the author's tone as well.
When I read under time pressure, I jut try to read fast, and get it on time but at the same time, it seems I understand the whole idea but when it comes down to the questions and I read all the answer choices, I am not able to pick up the right one and I go back to passage to reread again to make sure. For instance, in main point, I usually confuse between 2 or 3 answer choices and difficult to pick the actual right answer choice from LSAT writers perspective.
So then you need find a way to block out the time pressure. This isn't a test where you want to sacrifice accuracy for the sake of attempting every question. Depending on your goal score, maybe you should focus on completely answering 3 passages and ignoring the 4th. Once you get confident in completely and accurately finishing 3 passage, then you can try adding the 4th back in.
Yes, I think that would be an option and I was thinking of this But any time I want to use this strategy, I feel bad and try to speed up and get into 4 passage. I feel guilty if I l do not reach out to passage 4.

I had 2 RC sections. It was brutal Plus my Proctor was mean, created unnecessary stress at the beginning. The funny part was that I had 2 RC and RC is my weakest part so... speechless.
Interested!
Hi,
I took the test yesterday as well. I am looking forward to take the test again in October. So I'd like to join a study group.

I had RC-LG-LR-LG
RC (moderate/fair)- African writer, endophytes on grass and leaves, privatization
LG (relatively easy)- summer camp, musicians, clay tablets, designers
LR (easy to moderate)- cameras and conspiracies, sanctions, construction bids, committee rules
LG (easy until BRUTAL last game)- bands, property renovation, (don't remember), security in two buildings
Overall a fair test until that last game (security guards) in LG2 obliterated me and I had to guess on the last 4 questions. Hoping that this was the experimental, any insight anyone? Thanks!
I had exactly the same format . I found the science one difficult and could not get on time to the science passage and by the time I did not have enough time to read properly as I am usually fall behind the time in last passage. I thought the 4 game was a bit challenging but again it took me a while to figure it out and I think it was due-able with having more time. But in overall I could not find much different between 2 LG in terms of difficulty so I am not sure which one I did better but I hope they count the good one!

I am interested as well. I just took the August LSAT and already registered for October. definitely have room for improvement on LR and RC.
Same!
Interested in joining!
How do you use this ctrl-f in LSAT/RC for your advantage?
Hi! Interested too but was not able to join!
I am interested.
DMd
I am interested too.
I am in if there is still room!

Hey @, what RC strategy are you using? Like if I put an RC passage & questions in front of you, can you walk me through what steps you take from start to finish? This would help me in offering any advice I can.
Hey, tbh I do not have any. I just read the passage, highlights some key terms and try to memorize those important part of passage but then when I go to questions then I most likely have to go over passage again to ensure find the answer for that question. I feel like I doubt to choose one. I would like to examine with someone who is master in RC. So I know what am I doing wrong which I am sure something is wrong. Thus, please let me know how we can arrange this.
