After reading LSAT Trainer, RC went way down

Okay so I bought The LSAT Trainer book and read just the RC section and did the practice drills. Well, I took my first full length timed RC section (PT 47) and scored absolutely horrible! missing 6/8 more than normal. Is PT 47 just unusually hard or did I screw up my RC strategies?

    It can take time to implement any new strategies for the LSAT. This is just my 2 cents, but my RC actually improved significantly after reading the LSAT Trainer. I would go through the RC drills in the curriculum to really determine if your score lowered because your new strategy isn't a good fit for you, or if it's because your new strategy just takes some time to get used to.

    Correlation doesn't prove causation :wink: . Like btsao650 said, employing new strategies takes time, and it was only one section. I wouldn't read into too much.

    hmm that's weird. maybe you just had a bad section? it does take some time to get used to a new method though, so just give it time.

    Hahaha! Bazinga!

    This is actually pretty common. It takes time to implement new strategies and a score dip is a perfectly normal result when one uses a new strategy. I would take some time to redo older RC sections maybe you've already seen untimed using the new strategy from The Trainer. Then do some timed sections with it once you're more comfortable.
