RC can kick rocks. I have been studying my ass off to get better at RC and have watched my scores get significantly WORSE! WTF, this shit makes no sense. I am consistent -3 to -5 on LR and consistent -0 to -3 LG, but my RC is anywhere from -4 to -12. And the worst part is that I don't even know what to do. I have tried reading like it is super exciting, slowing down to just comprehend, focusing on language strength, identifying main points, I've hired multiple tutors, and done the RC hero method. Bro, why does none of that shit work? What do I even do? Am I cooked?

What's up 7sage fam. I am getting my ass handed to me by RC. I meet with a tutor every week, and when we meet and go through problems together everything seems so clear and easy. The second I get by myself, it is like a bomb goes off in my head and I will consistently put up -6 or worse. Any tips that anyone could share would be great. I would take any help I can get right now.

I have been studying for about 8 months, with a very heavy emphasis for the last 3 months. I am beyond frustrated with my lack of improvement and inconsistency. Am I actually just dumb? I have placed a huge emphasis on BR recently, and will continue to do so. But it hasn't seemed to help. I hired a tutor, I have my fingers crossed that it helps but nothing else I have tried seems to. My first diagnostic was a 148 I believe, then I studied my ass off, my last PT before Feb LSAT was a 159 and I was feeling ok about it. Took the test and got a 153. Took another PT a few days ago and got a 155. My goal is to eventually get a 168-172 by next cycle and I am starting to feel like that is not viable for me anymore.

One of the hardest things for me is diagnosing what exactly my issue is. There have been times I will take a PT and get -4 LR, and then my very next test I will get my -11/12 LR. I know my games and RC need work which is the main reason I hired a tutor, but man LR is driving me nuts. I feel like I know what the question is asking, I understand the stimulus, and even in BR I am able to explain away the other answers that I didn't choose, only to find out that I chose incorrectly. Is it even possible for me to get a 160mid or above by the April/June LSAT barring an absolute miracle from God? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Just wanted to see any advice anyone may have. Thanks!

I have no idea what happened. I have been studying for months and have had regular ups and downs. A week ago, I was the most confident I have ever been. I felt like I was getting everything right, and it was all making sense to me. I don't know what has changed, but I suddenly don't understand anything. Like, I can't even diagram basic lawgic anymore when just a week ago it seemed like second nature. I am now missing questions that I have never missed and am feeling like I am taking huge steps backwards. Wondering if anyone else has felt something similar and how you got back to feeling confident and competent.
