How much can you improve RC? Forum

[scootsy]

I've gotten consistent -0's on the LG, and -2 or -3 on the LR. I know I can ultimately get LR to -0 or -1, but RC kills me. I imagine I can improve some from adopting a more effective strategy, but everywhere I read says that RC is the least likely to see an improvement. I am usually around a -5 or -6, but sometimes am as bad as -9.

Should I devote most of my focus into -0's on the LG and LR, or are the various recommendations I have found on this site or in books (Voyager's strategy or the Manhattan RC strategy guide) going to help me improve my RC score significantly?

I'm getting the RC bible for this

The Manhattan book helped a lot for the RC, both myself and a few other people I know. Its also pretty short and easy to go through.

I was able to make significant improvements in RC (from -7/-8 to -2/-3) with the help of LSAT Blog. Although RC is considered the most difficult section to improve in, you can greatly improve if you learn how to approach it.

At the very start of studying I went -9/-10 a couple times, and I once got every question wrong on a passage (damn Noguchi!). I improved significantly after that, consistently went 0 to -2 in the final stages of studying, and ended up going -2 on the actual test.

It's definitely possible for a lot of people to make solid gains on RC and I actually found it much easier to improve than LG (my biggest enemy ). I didn't find any books that helpful, and for me it was mostly about not marking up so much and not reading so quickly. I was very strong with LR, which you seem to be good at too, and I found it helpful to think of RC questions as LR questions.

I wish I had noticed that when I was studying. That's a hell of a job you did there!
