  Have you read Loophole yet? The CC is a great foundation but I found that doing tons and tons of translation and clir drills (two fundamental concepts in the book) to be the most helpful thing I’ve done for LR. Also just seeing tons of questions makes you better at recognizing things and you will realize that they repeat a lot similar to Logic Games.

  I also have difficult time with LR, I am average at -12 per LR section and I've finished the 7sage CCs now, could someone provide any helpful tips? Any advise is appreciated!

  I would probably recommend just practicing a lot of questions: whether that's through timed drills or timed sections and doing really really detailed blind review (going over every question and thinking through why every answer choice is right and wrong). And then I would compare your reasoning to J.Y.'s. The LSAT goes through a lot of patterns so this reasoning will eventually start digging into your head and you can use it timed.

  @m.i.rivas, thank you very much for your advise.
