been a minute, but for me I tried not to have to go back to the text to check - I actually read slower than normal, did some rough note-taking/outlining (which was mostly to help me retain content, not to actually refer to when answering Qs)

and 100% agree to ignore time until you're consistent untimed!

wrong answer for rc for me is like this (https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/v7w3ay/wrong_answer_guide_for_rc/ ) plus i kinda add a summary of what i read (main point, author's pov if any, inference)

Yeah, I mean you gotta find what works for you. I found any type of notation to be a huge waste of time personally. I do want to push back on not timing yourself. The test itself is timed. You are training for the test. Less time per section = more sections per study session = more input = more tuning for your neural engine. You are training your "gut feel" answering mechanism, not your slow methodical analytic engine

true everyone is different -- but i personally found mastering the content before training for time to be helpful. you can learn timing when you grasp the concept. or at least that's what i found hehehehe <3

hm, to me it's like anything else - if you can't do it slowly, you can't do it fast. I agree that the goal is to start to have an immediate sense of what the right answer is, but the way to get there is to understand the underlying mechanics of a passage and its questions. to me it was similar to music (I'm a former classical musician)--you don't learn to sightread by sightreading a bunch. you learn to sightread by becoming intimately familiar with everything you might encounter in a new piece of music and practicing those bits so much, and in such minute detail, that they become second nature

Yeah, true. I think basically all LSAT advice needs the caveat of, "but you need to find what works for you". Also I just might not be the best person to give advice. My LSAT journey was probably far from typical as I diagnosed pretty high

@AngryMiniCar sorry I may have missed this earlier, but what tools/training/methods are you using to study currently?

badhorrormovie

15:16

@AngryMiniCar: ultimately, it's gonna be whatever helps you though, like seventeensplitter said!! finding a personal study routine that works is rough, and the frustration of not knowing where you're going wrong is real. but i'm sure it'll start clicking soon. :)

Imagine you're training for a race, and all of your training paces suggest you're going to come in first place. Then the day of the race, you're just slower for no discernable reason. You get the silver medal. Yes, you still got the silver medal, but what a gut punch when you thought you were going to get a gold medal

apparently controversial but I'm using LSAT Demon to drill

AngryMiniCar

15:21

It's helped a lot with LR but my RC seems to have an inverse relationship with my LR lol

I used 7sage because it was the cheapest. I liked to sort by hard and just tackle the hardest stuff for drills

AngryMiniCar

15:22

I used 7Sage first but I think because (ADHD) it presents me with too many choices for how I want to drill

15:23

bleh wash u can suck it. they wont be seeing an app from me

AngryMiniCar

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS THO

have you read any books, taken any classes (or webinars or what have you), etc? my diagnostic was high, so I thought I'd be able to drill/self-tutor my way into a great score on test day, but I ended up really benefiting from the "bible" books and the loophole, plus some (7sage?) classes where the instructor did outlining

AngryMiniCar

15:24

I'm thinking maybe I should try RC Hero or something apparently that one worked really well. But I ain't got mones like that to waste :') I had the 7Sage $1 dollar deal cause I'm poor af and it was a godsend

PURRR and this is gonna sound silly but reading helps with reading comp (bear with me) ,,, if you have time, try to start incorporating reading a few chapters of a book that forces you to comprehend and challenge what you're reading (philosphy, etc.)

AngryMiniCar

READING HELPS WITH READING COMP LOL

I got the bible books. It helped a lot with LR... RC not so much
