Thank you all for the comments and advise! I will definitely work on the notation method and try to read more for structure. I feel that I do get caught up in details and then it slows me down. I also seem to be looking and wasting time when I look back in the passage for answers.

Reading Comp HELP

I have been studying for the LSAT for a few months now and my score has tremendously improved. I am now scoring on average 165 consistently on prep tests, but what holds my score back is my reading comp section. I usually always score the lowest on RC. On my last prep test I took, I missed 2 in LG, 2/3 in LR, but missed 8 in RC, so it is really hindering my overall score. I am consistently having trouble with the humanities and social science passages in RC. I do not like those subjects and have had virtually zero practice since high school (I'm a Finance major). I have been practicing more on RC and trying to review, but I just don't know what I can do to help my score. I watched the webinar that was posted previously on the discussing and I am going to try her tips, but I just feel like I always second guess myself and narrow it down to two answers, but in the moment of the test I choose the incorrect answer. Any ideas on what I can do to try to work on my reading or any other tips? I am going to try to notate differently because I do find myself going back a lot and not being able to find anything because I underline everything as I read.

raw versus BR score

I am currently studying for the October LSAT. I have taken about 7 full, timed practice tests. My highest score has been a 157. After taking each PT, I have reviewed my incorrect answer choices by watching the 7Sage videos (I didn't follow the BR method). I just recently took the PT 45 and received a 156 (I took it in a noisy environment and was distracted several times). I did the worse on the RC section, which I usually score the highest in but then scored the best in the LG section with only missing 1, so there is a bit of a discrepancy in my score for this specific PT. I decided to do the BR method for the first time and I received a 170 instead. I found the method very helpful and easily realized stupid mistakes I was making during the exam from just not reading carefully. I know that timing is an issue for me, because I understand all of the concepts, but just have issues concentrating during the exam and reading carefully. I was wondering what I should do to help solve the discrepancy in my two scores and bring my actual score up to what my BR score. What can I do to focus more during the exam and not make silly mistakes? I really want a 170 or higher on my LSAT, which is going to be a big leap.
