AHHHH!!!!!!!!
This is the first time EVER so far that I have gotten a 170. I did LSAT #56 and I honestly thought I had BOMBED it.
Reading Comprehension is my WORST section and I spent my week dedicating myself to it and only got -3 :D.

Hard work pays off! You can do it!!!! #feelingproud

    That's awesome, congratulations! Just curious: How did you spend your week dedicating yourself to RC? I'm finding it difficult to improve on this section as well.

    @msizzlee
    What I did to improve my RC was I started printing entire sections of RC passages from old prep tests. This doesn't include the comparative passages, but I still find it really useful.
    I then went over the LSAT Trainer's section on reading comprehension and made specific notes on the question types. The book breaks it down and lets you know how they structure correct/incorrect answer choices and what to look for. Like, for example, the fact that the wrong answer choices will sometimes have really embellished language.

    I then started going through the RC sections I printed, timed, and did a really slow BR process. On questions I got wrong, I went and looked where in the passage there was support or what aspects of the incorrect answer choice made me chose it. :)

    How often did you go through a timed RC section from those old tests? Once a day?
  • harrismeganharrismegan Member

    Yep. I go through a full 4 passage section a day with BR.
