Hi everyone,

I am planning to take the August LSAT and I am having a hard time improving my LR and RC sections. On my past two practice tests I've scored a 161 with BR scores of 170 and 172 (My target score is 166+).

For LR, I've realized that my biggest barrier is time and not skipping questions I find difficult right away. So, I plan on taking timed LR sections this week to address that.

But, for RC, I really do not know how to improve my score. What strategies have worked for you? Do you reccomend getting a tutor at this stage? Should I just do tons of RC passages?

    Hi @LegallyBrunette21, what's worked for me is just reading some guides on reading comprehension online. I recommend Steve Schwartz's podcasts and the Manhattan Prep book. I've worked with some different tutors for RC, and they were helpful. But once I got the basics down—which is just really understanding the function of each paragraph in a passage—drilling passages has helped more than tutoring.
