What?? We already did the RC review? I thought it was at 9pm c. Damn you and your military time rizza.

Who are you trying to kid, like you even need the review.

[A.Taarabt7]

just wanted to get some feedback on rc from people that are doing well on it. what is your process?

mine is read passage,mark up, on side write down one or two word structure summary for each paragraph as im reading. then when done look over passage for maybe 5 seconds max at highlighted parts. i then progress to the Qs and usually have to look back at passage for each one to verify an answer. is this what u guys do or do u answer from memory for some of the questions? as im reading if i detect author opinion or voice i note that down as well, and highlight any process or person described, in addition to making sure i understand any lengthy ex that author uses

I underline a few key points and have never made notes. RC is my best area naturally though, so my methods may be atypical.

ETA: to clarify, I probably answer 50% from memory and scan back for the rest. The science and comp passages I can usually knock out in about 12 minutes, which gives me the time I need on the other two. The arts passages and and the other one usually have so many details and nuances in them that they take me longer in general.

I dont mark up the passage at all. I simply write a 2-3 word summary beside each paragraph upon finishing it.

-2 RC on June 2012
-3 RC on October 2012

YMMV

Thanks to everyone that came out. Its great getting so many different viewpoints on why answers are right/wrong.

Is this sarcasm?

Wasn't there, and I can't verify, but I wouldn't put it past Mrizza.

Aww, thanks. Missed you guys too. I was swamped with schoolwork the past week; that has been dealt with. LSAT is my life from now until Dec. 1st.

Yeah, you suck at it so much that you only got a 99th percentile score. For shame. How do you look yourself in the mirror each morning?
