Hi fellow 7-Sagers,
Looking for some advice here; is process of elimination the best strategy for answering all types of RC questions? It seems like reading through all answer choices can be a real time sink, but I have been under the impression that POE is best most of the time on the test (apart from certain LG questions where you can hunt for the correct answer and/or move on right after you find it). Thoughts?

So ... do POE and trust the process
If you're struggling with the speed aspect of it, I would def pick up the LSAT trainer and read through the reading comprehension section. Reading for structure and not details changed my speed immeasurably!
Another thing to focus on: just as in LR, maintain a high standard of proof/verifiability when selecting a correct answer choice. Don't be sucked into an answer because it talks about some concepts you recognize from the passage if it is making some unwarranted assumptions about these concepts.
Understanding passage structure and having a mental map of the passage will definitely help you with these questions. You'll be surprised how fast you can refer back when cross-referencing it with your understanding of the layout.
