How do you all balance study time across LG LR and RC?

So I've been going through the core curriculum in order, starting with all the LR stuff and now going through LG. But I feel uneasy about the fact that I haven't even gotten to RC after a few months of studying, and after doing just LG for a few weeks I feel like I'm forgetting the LR material. How do you all balance going back and forth between the different sections? Should I force myself to studying a different section each day or week? Wondering if any of you have any strategies for progressing evenly across the three sections and not feeling like you're neglecting one of them.

It was helpful for me to look at this question with the correlation-causation lens:

stimulus:

- Y presents a correlation between size and survival rate of blackbirds

- Y concludes a causation from this correlation that size determines survival rate

- author pushes back on Y's conclusion, suggesting that age is a competing cause determining survival rate.

answer choices:

A) nope, the stimulus says that "smaller blackbirds are generally younger," so there's at the very least a correlative relationship between size and age

B) the author is suggesting that age is actually the causal factor determining survival, and we have no information from the stimulus suggesting that larger birds of the same age will survive better

C) again, since the author is suggesting age as the causal factor, a difference in age probably DOES indicate a difference in survival. But even if this AC was worded like this, it's a stronger statement than D and therefore would be a harder inference to push out

D) This one is consistent with the author's argument. If age really is the factor determining survival rate as the author suggests, if you observe the birds of the same age, regardless of size, then they should have the same survival rate.

E) we have no idea what will happen with a larger sample. this would be a huge assumption which we are not allowed to make
