Do you have any recommendations/exercises I could do to help increase scores in the LR section under time constraints? I score okay (on average 20 correct out of 25) when I can be slow and methodical going through the LR sections but when the 35-minute timer is on I am typically missing around 6-7 additional questions under timed conditions.

I will go back through and review the test and re-do the questions I got wrong per your recommendation on a podcast (before looking at the Correct Answer choice) and on the 2nd try get those questions right.
