Hey there, well you'll definitely get better. English is not my native, it's actually my 3rd language and i have to do same translations back and forth just like you:). RC was a struggle, but I now manage to finish all the 3 passages and Qs in 30 mins and mostly guess on the 4th, so far -2, the most -5 in RC section, that's good enough for me.

And you have advantage over me: 1) you are still in school and i've been out of it for the past 10 years 2) I don't speak or read English stuff on daily basis, except lsat related things.

Think of it as an advantage, 'coz i really think it's. when you're doing all those translations you understand details better and memorize them better.

@ I did 62-71, it clicked after i went over the hard games at the end. They are basically all the same. I never went through the theory: 1- it’s boring 2- i’m lazy, but I heart math and physics, 2 of my fave in school. the videos helped 100%.

Another advice, watch how you talk to yourself when you do LG, LR or RC qs. Do you say to yourself “omg this is so hard, i can’t figure it out” or “ok, how do i figure it out? What’s the easiest way?”. Whatever command you give to your brain, that one will operate.:)

LG are easy, never thought i would say that back in the day. Pick one set of Prep tests for example 72-82, do 4-6 games a day, book mark hard games, watch JY explanations, attempt doing only hard games again the same day hours later, then move on to another 4-6 games next day and so on.Then at the end of 82 do all the hard games again. By the time you are done with the whole set, you'll learn hopefully that the trick is really to keep the game rules in your mind ( as you're writing them down try to visualize them). And even when I can't figure out the set up, I usually look at the first question to give me a little bit of idea. I went from "what the hell is going on here" to -0 or -1 in 10 days.
