@ you're a goat! TY so much!

Hi @ no problem! The "low-res" should be very focused on the content/subject matter of the paragraph. It should be fairly passage-specific. For example, a good low-res for a paragraph might be "abalone experiment." That gives me an idea of what the paragraph is about. I think that a good low-res should be one or two words that, if I keep asking the question "why" or "what," will give me the high-res for the paragraph. Something like this... low-res = "abalone experiment" okay, why? The abalone experiment was conducted to see if a certain mineral could be extracted from their shells. Okay, why? The mineral is important to use in manufacturing a new type of medicine. Now I have something closer to a high-res, going from my low-res "abalone experiment," all the way to "the abalone experiment was conducted to see if a certain mineral could be extracted from their shells because we need that mineral to create a special type of medicine."

On the other hand, "structure" refers to very high level language that would be applicable to almost all passages. So for structure I would be slapping labels on certain paragraphs, such as "premise," "main point," "context," etc.

I hope this helps, let me know if I can clarify!

Hello @ , thanks for this. Really quick question, how do you differentiate between "low res content" and "structure" when filling out outline for each paragraph. Apologies in advance if this is an extremely basic q...new to all of this and want to make sure I have it down before i proceed. Thank you in advance!

Before I started focusing on improving my LG/RC I was averaging about ~8-10 missed on LR sections combined. Spent around 2 weeks bringing my LG/RC to a point where I'm getting ~2-4 wrong on LG and ~4-5 wrong on RC. I just took a full PT and missed 10 on a single LR section... any tips for getting back into the groove of things without seeing my work with LG/RC suffer?

I found myself second guessing a lot of my answers, especially when I was between 2 answer choices on LR, and of those questions many were either NA or SA questions. Any tips would be appreciated! I'm signed up for the September LSAT so the pressures on lol
