RC: If speed is the problem in RCs, chances are that you have to re-read the statements while solving the questions again (not always, but could be) and/or that you're a perfectionist in understanding everything. Something that helped me was to write shortened versions of everything like how most people approach LG. (Example: Diamond carving laser (the main key word in the passage) goes up to 1000+ degrees --> I would write it as: "dcl >/= 1000+") Practice with a lot of passages on how to write powerful shorthands that 1. so good that you won't have to reread the passage while solving the problems 2. understandable to you that lets you understand as soon as you read it again 3. so short it takes you only a few seconds to write down and read
LR: The key is to figure out patterns and key words. I would figure out which questions are making you take more time than you should (always better to take less time and be more accurate) and what steps you might be repeating to solve a questions (are you reading anything twice? do you strategize again in the middle?). Personally, something I realized I do for my LR is that I tend to read question --> stimulus --> question --> answer. If you can ensure that you only read everything once and doing all the steps once, easier questions might need shorter time.
I hope this helps and sorry if these are things you already do!! I hope you get your dream score on your real test!
#help Could someone explain why "He cannot kill both Arya and Sansa." be A-->/S? Wouldn't it be /A --> S and /S --> A?
