How review LR and Plateau

Hassanat_bah

Hello,

I have studying for couple months now but I'm not seeing any improvement with LR. The most I can answer in that section is until question 17th. My score have been constantly 8/17 and 11/17 after BR based on just what I answered. I believe my review hasn't been effective. I do have a wrong answer journal and redo questions sometimes. Sometimes I get them right and sometime I get them wrong again. How can I review LR effectively and improve? Any advice pleasseeeeeeeeeee

Greetings! If you are going 8/17 consistently then their is a fundamental issue with your understanding of the section. I would focus on the first 10 and not move on until you constantly get 10/10 on those.

Something that helped me was to focus less on diagramming and more on ensuring I can identify the conclusion and premises. You must also understand the argument before delving into the questions.

Thank you Lucas. I'm gonna try that too

I would go back to the lessons in fundamentals that show up in LR. You can find them in the LR lessons transcripts at the bottom usually. There is probably a key thing that hasn't clicked yet so make sure you understand the patterns that come up and the logic behind it all

Long discussion on Discord voice calls helped me improve. I mean LONG! lol like we would spend 20-30 mins on a question really verbally taking it apart and putting it back together again. Sometimes even using diagrams or logical notation. These discussions seemed like a waste of time at first but personally I felt it made me gain a few points. BTW - I was discussing with students scoring significantly higher than me. Perhaps that really leveraged my gains being the lowest scoring on in the group. Surprisingly I would often help the higher scorers understand questions just as they did help me.
