Use this time to learn conditional logic for LR and LG. You can avoid reading comprehension for now.

Few implies some for LSAT.

chances will be lower but certainly not too late as long as you send in your applications before the end of the month.

Sorry, to clarify for the Q18, I connected them by taking the contrapositive of [Live in Suburbs] -> [Not a Planning Committee Member], and noticed that Planning Committee Member was the same term. The some relationship was found with one of the valid argument forms
A->B
A->C
B some C

Hey, had a look for you - there are no logic contradictions the way I did them, but really weird one on the PT2.
PT29 S1 Q18
My logic was:
_[Planning Committee Members who RepresentConstructionIndustry] -> [Significant Financial Interest]
[Live in Suburbs] -> [Not a Planning Committee Member]_
Connect the two, and it becomes clear that:
NOT[Live in Suburbs] (-s-) [Significant Financial Interest]
I didn't actually find a some or most relationship here.
PT2 S2 Q24_
_Artist -most-> Less Politically Insightful than Reasonably Well-educated Non-Artist_s
I don't actually know why the correct answer is that some artists are NOT Less Politically Insightful than Reasonably Well-educated Non-Artists, because most absolutely can include all.
Hopefully someone else can hop in here for this one.

23 is bullshit. The author choosing to focus on chlorine does not mean that it's necessarily the most damaging to the ozone.

I don't know if it's the LSAT whittling down my psyche bit by bit over time but the concept of someone preaching their intense opinions on cookware made me chuckle

I'm surprised so many people got this right. I scored 176 on this PT and missed this one: it just wasn't connecting for me what the hell the guy's argument even was.
This is an example of modern LSAT's requiring straight intuition and relying less on formal logic; to know that logicians being logical in discussions of logic is a necessary to be competent isn't some sort of thing you can "figure out" - you just need to know it. You also just "need to know" that a doctor can be unhealthy and still good at their job. Not unreasonable things to assume by any means, just definitely a different flavor from older sets in the pre-60 era.

Lots of words below outlining my issues with the section. If you're also struggling with RC and/or have come up with novel solutions, please consider sharing ideas.
Reading comprehension is consistently my lowest performing section, I've got a pretty static -4 to -0 band on LR and LG, but reading is something that I'm worried I'm not effectively getting better at just from reading more passages.
Current Method:
I find that writing things down sucks up time and misdirects effort away from holistic understanding, because if I try to write a one sentence summary or comment on the structure I'll be focusing on that PARAGRAPH at the detriment of understanding the author's point as a whole. Currently, I don't use any paper in my RC strategy. This is probably a big area I need to consider. I'm entirely mentally reading for detail, and thinking about how things relate to each other as I go, keeping it in mental storage.
Concerns:
-Topics are too foreign/difficult/boring. I don't care about how 18th century English medieval common law courts carried out sentences pertaining to women's rights and how research methodology pertains to whatever. This makes it difficult for me to even recognize important details, let alone remember them. I also straight up don't know anything about art history or shit like that. I've noticed a significant boost in performance when it comes to science/natural history, things that I'm interested in, or technology/economics/finance, things that I've studied. Prior knowledge clearly helps but I don't see how I can get enough of a broad base of knowledge for the entire LSAT.
which leads to
-Struggling with inferences. Things that aren't explicitly stated are inherently fuzzy, and then I'm legit coin-flipping for those 5* Q's. I can't generate a mastery of the detail in these passage inside of 4 minutes. Current approach is to try and isolate relevant sentences from the passage, but then you inevitably miss things.
-General shitty reading ability? Like, I didn't have to write essays in college, so getting hit with these academic paper writing styles is tough.
Current stats:
170 Avg, 175 peak timed over 5 most recent PT's taken, up from roughly ~160 2 months prior. Need to get to 175 as a floor. RC consistently holding me below 175.
Thanks for any insights guys, let's make this a discussion. Feel free to dm me or call me a poopee head, I just need ideas for how to approach prepping this gd section.

sure. i get to see how someone else similar to me is writing their paper, you get some feedback. i'm dming you now
Yeah. I ran August and the most recent October official tests, and the 90s have the most similar flavor.
