A quick definition of vis clandestina:

Term: VIS CLANDESTINA

Definition: Vis clandestina means using force secretly, especially at night, in history.

A more thorough explanation:

Vis clandestina (pronounced vis klan-des-ti-nuh) is a Latin term that refers to the use of force in secret, especially during the night.

During the Middle Ages, many lords and knights would use vis clandestina to attack their enemies' castles or steal their livestock. They would wait until nightfall and then sneak into the enemy's territory to carry out their mission.

In modern times, some criminal organizations use vis clandestina to carry out illegal activities, such as smuggling drugs or weapons. They operate in secret and try to avoid detection by law enforcement.

The examples illustrate how vis clandestina refers to the use of force in secret, especially during the night. In both cases, the perpetrators try to avoid detection by operating in secret and using stealth to carry out their mission. This term is often associated with illegal or unethical activities, as it implies a lack of transparency and accountability.

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

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)

Sometimes my mind just goes blank when staring at an RC passage
16:21
what helped me most for RC was that the right answer will always be in the passage, even if its only implied
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.
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.

Thanks @premiumfrequentcrane. Windy I think (oddly enough) I'm having the most trouble with liberal arts/arts based passages. So anything about the arts/ a writer or author/ music I mess up on even if the passage is super easy.
