  @kinameas1 Hey there~ I'd love to help!

  I'm not sure if you are someone who reads a lot outside of the LSAT context but I definitely think reading dense non-LSAT material helped me train my brain. I studied economics in college so I whipped out old research papers and started reading them during my free time. Per paragraph, I summarized the findings into short phrases and said them out-loud to myself before moving on.
  I also started reading more news articles from my phone to get used to reading on an electronic device.
  I think incorporating these small habits into my non-LSAT daily routine helped a lot!

  As for my actual RC review process: After every PT (as a Blind Review method), I would re-read the passage and write out explanations for EVERY SINGLE question. A lot of times, I found myself missing questions because I wasn't actively connecting the answer choices back to the passage; I would just choose an answer that sounded decently right and move on. Hence, writing everything out forced myself into getting into the habit of actively thinking through every component.

  I did this for about 2 RC sections (so ~8 passages) a day, every day for about a week, and my score jumped! I went from averaging -7/-8 to -2.

  Improving RC can be super tedious especially if you're not used to reading dense passages but don't give up! As you're reviewing each passage, keep a positive mindset-- tell yourself that you're learning something new in the process and that the passages are interesting.. HAHA!

  I hope this helps and if you wanna chat more, just PM me. Good luck!!!
