Looking for a few tutoring sessions to see if someone can help me correct my weaknesses/unlock what I need to bump up my score. I scored a 150 earlier this year, took a break since I was on a few waitlists, started studying again 6 weeks ago and have since taken PTs that were 150 and 151. Best score on a practice LR section was -5, but I average around -10. Best score on practice RC was -7, but I average around -10.

I'm not shooting for the stars here as a nontraditional student with a great resume, professional writing experience, master's degree, etc. I would be happy to get a 155-160 for the schools I'm looking at, but it seems like the constant drilling isn't doing much.

(My accommodations are time & a half.)

Tagged areas of weakness by 7Sage:

LR:

• conditional reasoning

• link assumption

• flaw or descriptive weakening

• quantifier

RC:

• critique or debate

• problem-analysis

I don't have thousands to spend. I work 2 jobs + pet sit. Willing to spend up to $400 in the month of October.

Any takers?

What are y'all doing to improve your performance on conditional reasoning? I feel like I know the keywords & tricks to introduce sufficient and necessary assumptions, and my former tutor last fall even told me I was good at it. But when it comes to anticipating, for some reason, I'm lost or just get it totally wrong. Or I over-diagram when I don't even need to diagram (shoutout Blueprint prep...)

Sorry to be so vague -- just wondering what has helped other people.
