Hi, I've been studying lsat for a while.
As anybody else I was most intimidated by LR and struggled with LG to begin with.
However,....
Here I am with RC section as the most challenging task left for me before June lsat.
For general information in case you need it to help me out of this misery of RC, I miss about 7-9 questions usually distributed as following: 0/-2/-2/-4. Basically, there is an easy passage that I get right perfectly and two passages that I feel confident at the moment but still get one or two wrong, and one difficult passages with also difficult questions that I miss four questions.
It may be a stupid to ask how to be better at RC in that some ppl are simply too good at it without questions with habitual reading.
Still, I realized the questions themselves can be traps even though I fairly understand the passage well.
The most trouble that I have comes from my assumption that most of questions are "must be true" in RC, which I learned from RC bible.
It seems as if there may be slight difference between "must be true" questions in LR and RC.
While it is quicker and easier to run "fact test" for LR questions, RC questions at first glance appear to fail the "fact test" but still end up having the correct answers as they are supported as a whole... or assumed...or I fail to recognize nuance.....
Once upon a time when I asked for help on LG, I got great helps as I was taught to simply drill the same questions over and over again. That simple advice led me to save so much time in practice for LG.
thanks again.
SO, about RC,,, how should I approach this section?
Thank you
Hyunju
