Strategies to improve at LR?

yascha04

Hello! I would really appreciate any strategies to improve at LR. When I do the question types individually I do good on them, but when I do a full LR section I cannot seem to improve. Any strategies, tips, or studying patterns that anyone has to offer, please please tell me.

I BR and I go over my wrong answers and see where I made the mistakes. But that has not done a whole lot for me.

I think I would need more information to give you any advice! For example, how much do you study each day/week? Are you getting through the entire section or guessing on a number of questions? Have you went through the CC or any outside books?

Thank you for answering !!! I study roughly 20 maybe more hours a week! As I work full time and have a part time job. So I do my best. The thing is I am not struggling to get through the section I come done to 2 answer choices and ultimately choose the wrong one. I did finish the CC and I am currently utilizing “The Loophole” by Ellen Cassidy.

I am not sure what other tactics to employ. Because BR does not work for me.

Well, I can definitely respond to this directly. Getting stuck between two ACs can mean two things:

1. You didn't fully understand the stimulus to be able to make the proper distinction.
2. There is a single word (maybe a few) that invalidates one of the ACs.

To the first point, you may have to read slower, make better predictions, and hone in on the right AC instead of focusing on elimination. To the second point, I always found it helpful to ask myself "what single word makes this AC wrong?" Most of the time, it actually worked. Now, if you are simply spending too much time differentiating between two ACs, it may be helpful to skip and come back since your best odds of getting the AC right is 50%. Whereas spending too much time and missing questions at the end guarantees you will get them wrong.
