I am sure RC is not as hard to improve in your situation as it seems. To get from -18 to -9 is double in a couple of months.
I can help you with RC for free. Please don't hesitate to PM me to meet via Zoom
Get a good webcam (for example Onn. Webcam with Ring Light-3 LED levels, Autofocus, Up to 1440p Resolution, $30)
So the proctor can see at the same time you and your desk, and most of the room

Congrats @Constantine ! You've been around these forums a long time and have given a lot of help to a lot of folks. So happy to see you land so well, and best of luck in law school!
Thanks, I learned a lot from you!
90%. You need to be as humble as possible. Including the way you write application materials, communicate with schools, and something about your previous life that shows that you understand hardship.
Too ambitious? Roughly a year of studying. Not at all! Too ambitious is when people have a month of studying and want 170+. PM me, and I'll explain how to deal with MP questions.
As with any book, studying using Loophole is better than not studying at all. But if you would reverse-engineer 15 LR questions on your own instead, it would be much better and faster.
In your situation (LG -2 and LR -3), you should be able to get - 2 on RC or better. So focus on RC and change the method. Read slower and often pause and summarize. When finished, tell yourself the passage's main point, conclusion, primary purpose, …
The fastest cure would be a simple one. Take a section of LR and deep review it. It would take 2-3 days. But if you do proper analysis of the arguments you will get -2 or better and that's where your success with LR is going to be unavoidable.

@Constantine I just came across this post. I also really need improvements in my RC scores to reach my target score. Would it be possible for me to get tutoring as well?
I can have only one pro-bono student at a time.

@marisabeljimen7-1 I am in a very similar position! Thank you so much for this thread!
@Constantine Would it be possible to if I could take you up on tutoring as well??
If you have time to study intensively, then…
@LSAT_Athlete We kept this discussion civil btw. Why do you call me arrogant? I don't even know you. Why are you labeling me? Are you going to be a lawyer?
The requirement will be optional (for schools). So a school can keep it. As of today, 50% of the schools said they going to keep the LSAT, 5% want to abolish it and 45% will make a decision later.

Umm.
Josh, thanks for the opportunity to elaborate and continue a discussion on the topic.
You are a legend (see AMA 7Sager Can't Get Right), but you can be wrong.
I got hurt by advice based on the intuitive assump…
No, you can't.
In my experience, the fact that English is not your native language has nothing to do with performance on RC. Most native speakers struggle with RC to a great degree.
I would focus on all sections.
And I would love to help and tutor you for free. I will do it for sport. If you need only 7 points to increase it will take between 1 and 2 weeks.
I've done it before (see the last two comments): https://7sage.com/…
