I can never get below -3 on both LR and RC for the past 5 tests my scores in lr and rc have been more or less -3 each and -0 lg usually saves my ass. Can someone give me some advice on how to not miss easy questions my main problem is with missing easy questions that i should not be missing

Do you mean "easy" as in they have 3 or less stars on 7sage? If so, put that out of your mind. Those stars do not and cannot indicate how hard those problems are TO YOU. Believing that you can "never" get below -3 and that you "shouldn't be missing" questions is a counterproductive mindset. Trust me, I've been there and once you abandon these notions you'll find that you actually can get below -3!

I'd go into your PTs and see if you picked the right answer at some point then switched to the wrong answer. Once I started to trust my OG choices and made myself prove that that answer was wrong and that the other answer that caught my eye on second glance was right, I got into -0 territory pretty consistently for LR. Also, if you're getting Qs wrong in the first half of the section, it might be worth slowing down or liberally flagging and going back after your first pass. You'll want to get through the questions you know ASAP (so don't doubt those answers either) and then basically do a BR while the test is still going.

@aszane21 wow you're so lucky to be getting -0
not sure how much I can improve within a week but thank you for the advice
for me I get some qs wrong in the first half wrong bc I assume that the questions in the first half are easier so I think I pay less attention to the stimulus

I wished I had more time after I finish the lr bc I only have like a minute left to go back and review acs. how can I get faster within a week
