ooo i have advice from a 169 scorer. basically with RC the main things you need to do to prepare are to pretend what youre reading is the most interesting thing ever, and prepare by reading more fiction (for adults)

eggan

16:17

novels like metamorphosis, brave new world, no longer human, crime & punishment, those kinds of novels for adults with complex language structure will be helpful (im just listing books i like but you can read anything)

Also also, at the same time, the biglaw lawyers increasingly are going "fuck these t30 hires are really good (the non accommodated 160s who would be t14 people in 2008 over these accommodated 170s in the t14 lmfao)" lolololol Also for RC just the more you do the better you are.

Sometimes my mind just goes blank when staring at an RC passage

NemoPropheta

16:21

what helped me most for RC was that the right answer will always be in the passage, even if its only implied

NemoPropheta

16:21

so you just have to justify your answer choice with specific line support

I think my issue with RC is that for LR if I misread that's one question. But if I misread the tone of an RC passage I'm screwed for a bunch of questions.

windyMagician

16:29

do you have a particularly hard time with one kind of passage, or is it more of an overall problem?

First, RC is something you been doing since grade 1, so unlike LR or LG, it is something you have been exposed to and you will have a natural affinity for it that will be hard to move beyond. Second, you need to just do more of them lol Know all the rules and question types etc. from a curriculum, one of the tried and true like PS or 7sage or what not, then you just drill. Of course that also means you need to review your answers in depth - you need to find where in your thought process you made an error so it doesnt happen again. It also helps to solidify right thought pathways. And not about content like "oh yeah i guess the blacks in 1870s latino communities were creole," but like "oh yes question asks for y and i said z so in the answer i mistook x for w being the right answer" lol aka structural approach. That is all i gots for free lol hire a tutor if you need more.

For LR, look at it as mathematical word problems with algebra.
