Strong on LR, need practice on LG and RC

I've done the diagnostic and before using 7sage (and now realizing I shouldn't have) I did a few practice tests. I consistently did very well on the LR (-4 to -0) but need some work on the LG and RC. Part of that is because I took formal logic in college which helps a lot with LR. I also saw that the LR section was 120 hours of time where the other two are each 40. Because of this, I thought it was better to try to go through the other two sections of the course, and see how I'm doing on practice tests after that before seeing if I needed to do the LR section.

But as I'm starting to go through the RC section of the course I'm seeing that there are a couple small references to the LR section. I wanted to see if it's worth going the entirety of the LR course section now or if there are a few specific parts of it that are relevant but not necessarily the entirety. Has anyone else been in a similar situation where they're good at LR but need to work on the other two? Would love any advice people have!

LG has two advantages over the other sections: it is the most learnable and the most consistent. Once you "get" LG, it is not difficult to consistently get -0/-1 because all the questions on each game are connected together. If you did the inferences properly, your odds of getting all the questions right are very high. On LR and RC will have a bigger range because the questions are less related. 7sage's program for LG is also excellent. If I were you, I'd plan to take the June exam and practice LG a ton. Redo sections until they're within 1 minute of the target time. It is way more fun to take new sections, but it is far more important to get within time.

I personally started out worst on LG and RC (5-8 wrong) and LR was my strongest (3-5 wrong). My last 9 PTs have been all perfect on LG, 0 to 4 wrong on RC and 0 to 3 wrong on LR.

You will also be able to retake in August if you don't feel good about your June score. That being said, I don't know your strengths or your goals. If you need a lot of time to practice your other sections, just focusing on LR and RC for August will give you more time and less to focus on.
