Hey,

I had a similar problem with LR where I would kind of space out in the middle of reading the stimulus due to time constraint. I do even worse with RC because at times I would read an entire passage and have no idea about the structure, let alone the content.

Then I ran into this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/10as9w/reading_comprehension_guides/

Specifically this part of the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/z9fks/something_to_keep_in_mind_rc_help/

I used to time myself with a countdown timer but after reading this I started using a stopwatch instead. To my surprise, I was able to finish LR section in 37 minutes. That gave me an idea of how much time I need to cut on the LR, which was not that much! I also felt like not really paying attention much to time really took the pressure off. Ultimately, with practice, I was able to speed up on LR sections with 1-2 minutes remaining.

Now I shoot for 15/17 minutes when I get to Q 15. That way I get to spend more time on the harder questions.

Hope that helps!
