Hey there folks, I'll be taking the November flex on my tiny desk in a dark corner. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to have a lamp on the desk, or just my PC, paper, pencils etc..?

I've started to come to terms with that it's maybe not an election night, or week, but maybe more like an election month? Still giving me stress, but I've cut out all news so I can just focus on the November Flex! Regardless of who wins, I still wanna go to law school, lol. Glad to see others are in the same boat as me.

Oh I feel you so much. Yes, check out Khan Academy then, it'd totally worth your while because it's free! and they have much more documentation on how to go about each question type. I haven't been worrying about time so far (I'm taking the November Flex), so I'm spending about 13-15 minutes on a passage and questions. I vote for taking your sweet time to get really familiar and feel confident, just like practicing a new skill.
Let me know if you need an accountability buddy, it'd nice not to be alone during this!

I was also struggling with RC, which made me so upset because I was a humanities major in college and spent so much time reading and analyzing. I've started to think of the passages not in terms or retaining information, but in terms of passage structure. After each paragraph I read, I ask myself, "what is this paragraph doing?" >> "Oh I get it, it's explaining the statement made in paragraph 2 that all penguins are cute." or "It's refuting the claims made in paragraph 1" etc...
I've started to pretend that I'm reading a friends terribly boring paper that I know nothing about, but just need to make sure that it makes sense structurally, and also pretend to be very critical of it. So when the passage says something like "Penguins - which are arctic avian creatures who eat fish and have cute babies - are hunted...." I actually have just been skimming that entire interjection because it's not important, it's just context. Just like in LR, we're just looking for main points made, and why there are made.
Lastly, I personally like using Khan Academy for RC practice specifically, because they tell you what you did wrong and why upfront, along with hints, which, to me, was more helpful than practicing a section, getting them all wrong, and then watching JY. JY worked wonders for LR, but I had a hard time with his RC method.
I hope this helps!
I'd also nominate "Yeah, there you go" or "What are they even trying to say?"
