Hi! Do you diagram the passage in any way? I used to take 5-6 min/passage and now take 3-4, and have improved on significantly getting answers right throughout the section too. What I have found helpful is to highlight sentences as I read the passage the first time and to: 1) use yellow for argument indicators (just the word), 2) use pink for the author's/author-endorsed POV (sentences throughout the passage), and 3) use orange for the other person's/"common" POV (sentences throughout the passage). Diagramming the passage in this way helps me to pay attention to the information as I am reading it, as well as refer back to the structure of the argument as I go through the questions. In terms of practicing, I like to drill one passage at a time (starting untimed), then go through 4 timed. If you know you struggle with art and humanities passage, I would start with only drilling those (because you can likely target common problems you are having with science passages too). I start out each RC drilling session with 1 untimed, review, then 4 timed review, -- and do that every day. I started with passages at 2 star difficulty, but have increased up to 3-4 star, and 5 star passages. If I am doing multiple RC drilling sessions in the day, I start with the easier passages and build up to harder ones. I hope this helps, and good luck!
I would also like to join! Planning on July/August LSAT
