Congrats on the massive score improvement thus far! It's no easy feat, that's for sure. I totally feel you though because I feel like I'm going through something similar. However, something that I've started recently (and by recently, I mean a couple days ago) is typing out on a Word doc all the LR questions that I missed (including the ones where I changed to the correct answer during BR) and also questions that I got correct but was not sure why the correct answer is correct. For each of these questions, I also type out a full length explanation of the reason I missed the question and the reason why each answer choice is incorrect or correct. I feel like before, I wasn't really internalizing why I missed any particular question. I'd think that I understood and move on, but I don't think I was really understanding the fundamental issues. I feel like I'm learning a lot through this new method, and I plan on printing these out and looking through them anytime I have spare time on my hands throughout the day. I don't know the results that this method will yield since I just started doing this a few days ago but I'm optimistic!
But if anyone has any tips on RC, I'm open ears. It used to be my best section but somehow I'm regressing (I used to get -3/-4 consistently but now I'll go anywhere from -7 to -9)?? Really frustrating and I don't know what else I can do besides reading copious amounts of Scientific American articles and forming low-res summaries for each paragraph.
Interested! Taking the exam in March
