I've been studying for a month and half now and have been able to get my LR from -10 to around -3, but my RC has consistently been around -8 (untimed) with very little improvement. Does anyone have any advice on studying more effectively? I feel like with LR the foundations I had to learn drastically helped but with RC I might just not be approaching it properly? I've heard a lot of suggestions about mindset, staying engaged, predicting the next sentence, etc. but I think my issue is less about strategy and more fundamental. I've just purchased a RC textbook so hopefully that will help :')

@Asma That definitely sounds like an exercise I would benefit from, thank you for the help! Do you also have any advice for when I should start timing myself when drilling? I've been delaying it until I get my accuracy up, but don't know when would be a good place to start, or if I should just start now?
@GnatTaylor I have been mapping my translations but I actually haven't really compared them to the 7sage videos and usually only focus on the questions I got wrong, so I'll definitely try that out. Thank you for the advice!
@AriVilker1 I have, yes! It definitely helped a LOT in making the reading portion feel smoother and more effective, especially the low res summaries. I feel like the issue now though is, instead of going into the questions feeling absolutely lost, I feel pretty confident and then am shocked to later see my score 🥲 Thank you for the reminder on main point questions though!
I thought B was wrong because I thought it was flipped since the arguments order was confusing a required condition (only if convicted) for a sufficient condition (if convicted). I guess I was overthinking and order doesn't actually matter? Confusing a sufficient for a required is the same as confusing a required for a sufficient?
