I did pretty well on RC of old tests (usually -1 to -3), but on the newer PTs, I've been going -5 to -7. I'm taking the October LSAT and the RC of recent tests have me worried... does anyone have any advice on how to improve on the newer RC sections? #help

This is amazing, thank you so so much!
Just finished. Usually, RC is my weakest section but I felt really good about it this time. LR was medium, and LG was easy-medium. Congrats to everyone who took it, and good luck to those who are about to take it!
@ thank you, this is helpful! I believe the government subsidy section was the one with a ton of disagreement questions.
@ I took it yesterday as well. Ah, you're probably right, they might be different sections... I don't remember the section breakdowns super clearly. How did you feel about the sections? I just know that I thought my 2nd LR section was harder (I think my second LR section had something about methane, canonical literature, and banal/innovative music). My 2nd LR section was also the very last section on the test and I lost 2 minutes due to connectivity issues, so those reasons might be why I thought it was harder :(. Interested to hear your thoughts!
^ I remember this question, I spent quite a bit of time on this question as well. This was in the same section as that 1/2 and 1/4 government subsidies question that you mentioned before, right? If they were both in the same section as I remember, then I really hope this section was the experimental... I found this section to be harder than the other LR section I had.
I got an email last night regarding rescheduling options, but it was addressed to someone else even though it was sent to my email address... has anyone else experienced this? :( I just want to make sure that I'll definitely be able to reschedule my exam...

lolol I couldn't even take it???? the server crashed????????? And I'm having trouble getting in touch with LSAC. Anyone else in the same boat?
Lol me... it crashed towards the beginning of my 3rd section. I got in touch with LSAC via their support hotline and they said they'll send everyone impacted an email within the next few days regarding options to reschedule the exam.
I finally got through to someone on the LSAC hotline after being on hold for about 20 minutes. They helped me file a test day complaint. They let me know that LSAC is working to get LawHub back up and that LSAC will be in touch via email within the next few days regarding options to reschedule the exam.
For me, doing LR questions 1-10 always feel significantly harder than doing the later LR questions, even though I know they're supposed to be easier. I find myself spending a disproportionate amount of time on the earlier questions. This happens on EVERY preptest. I think I'm having trouble getting into the "LR mindset" right away and thinking too much/questioning myself too much during Qs 1-10. Has anyone ever encountered this issue? Any advice on how to get into the LR mindset quickly?
I'm going to get above 172 on the October 2021 LSAT!
#help does anyone know of similar questions to this one? I would like to practice biconditionals in LR
