Hi there!
Looking for any and all suggestions on how to improve on political/ economics based questions in the Logical Reasoning section (for example, those that talk about government structure, public opinion of policy, legislation, etc). Admittedly (and with some shame), I do not follow politics very closely. I find when I am reading the stimulus that I am getting hung up on the language and spend too much time trying to decipher what it is saying (I don't seem to have this issue with many other questions), and in the end I find political questions to be a huge time sink for me as I try and decipher what they are saying, and then, subsequently, mull over the answer options.
I am planning to take the October LSAT and am currently PT'ing in my ideal minimum range. Currently, I consider most of these questions to be a write-off, however, I would like to get to the point where I am more comfortable with them (I typically score 85-88% in the LR section, though I get few politics-based questions correct).
What would you do given the time limitation? Drill political questions? Read certain articles/resources? Any and all help is appreciated! I don't plan on deferring my test date since I am already scoring in my target range, I am just hoping to boost my score if possible, or add a little padding room to account for nerves on test day (or the possibility that the test in Oct contains a larger number of these types of questions).
