I never do incredibly badly on the reading comprehension sections, however I always seem to get about 2 questions wrong per passage and I am trying very hard for perfects (obviously). I was wondering if there is any advice on studying for reading comprehension aside from what is in the powerscore full LSAT prep book.

On practice exams I get a range from -2 to -7 on reading comprehension so I am not very consistent, any advice would be awesome.

Thanks for the question. There are a couple of supplementary modules on Reading Comp in your Online Student Center (in the homework section) that I know a lot of students have found very helpful. Please take a look at those for some additional advice/pointers on how to tackle the section, and then let me know if that helps. If not, we'll talk about it some more.

Thanks!

Be focused and try to increase the reading speed that would really help in solving the comprehension fast and would also increase your confidence and more likely you would definitely do less or no mistakes in future...!!!

I don't know if it's my place to offer advice, but I also have trouble in RC - worse than you, but based on what you're saying, it seems like you're rather good at RC, and I would guess that you most likely make mistakes on certain kinds of questions or are careless sometimes - which we all are.

I would say to look over the type of questions you seem to be getting wrong, and try to find patterns in the mistakes you're making. Try to see why you're making the mistakes, what you're missing, etc.

Good luck! :)
