So this section is by far my worst... I think the timing aspect is really killing me, any ideas on how to improve, or how perhaps you've seen gains within this section?
I've been averaging about 8-12 correct per section (I know, it's pretty bad) but after BR I usually get about 5-7 more answers correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Admin edit: Ahh! No full-caps in titles, please. I'm a very timid admin and I don't like being yelled at. ):

I would suggest seeing what questions type are your highest priority in the analytics portion and reviewing the core-curriculum for it. If you still have trouble with those questions feel free to post them on the forum, discord, or PM any one of us.
After reviewing and getting a better understanding of each question type, do you recommend drilling a timed LR section of 35 minutes? I've heard others recommend this strategy, and wanted to see what you think..
I think too often we focus on WHY the answers are right or wrong without fully comprehending what we just read. Anecdotal, admittedly, but I think that it pays to take an approach from the ground up if an individual is missing as many questions as you and I have missed. Grit and drive are important. Don't give up.
And just to reinforce what others have said, yes, write your entire BR out. Every stimulus breakdown, every answer choice, and your entire reasoning process for why each answer choice is either right or wrong.
And yes, I highly recommend writing down the explanations because its easy to lie to ourselves why we actually eliminated something after JY has already explained it in a video, but if you have it written down you are forced to see your own bad reasoning and evaluate how you should handle it better the next time.
Hi Sami,
By breaking down stimuli grammatically, do you mean dissecting sentences into subject/verb/object? I've never tried this method of BR but definitely going to try from today and just wanted to make sure if I have a correct understanding of what you mean
