Hi 7Sagers, I moved here few years ago and English is my second language, no educational background here. I have studied engineering and would like to pursue my goal in Patent Law. I have been studying for LSAT since late 2017, and am struggling with time. I do pretty good in LG but in LR and RC I have problems with time. I wonder if anyone had a recommendation that helps test takers like me, reading faster and comprehending simultaneously.

    I'm a native speaker so I don't think I'm the best person to give you advice however, JY did a podcast episode with a non-native sager "Grey Warden" and she talks about how she overcame RC difficulties by reading the Economist and using it as RC practice. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already!

    Also, there's some webinars talking with another non-native speaker Sage by the name of Nader. Under Resources go to the one called "Our 89 Point Increase Story" to hear about him and three other former students' experiences.

    There was a student from India whose native language is not English yet she ended up with a 170. She had a Podcast session with JY recently and specifically talks about how she improved her English while studying for this test. Look it up. It's definitely available here.

    Yeah another guy recommended that earlier. I listened to it. It was amazing. Specially the part that she goes "if i could do it, then anyone else can".
    But thank you,
