RC/Stupid Mistakes
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2010 9:22 pm
I need advice on how to improve on RC and on LR (mainly due to really stupid mistakes).
No matter what I do I can't seem to find a way to improve RC. I've tried symbols, underlining, reading fast. No matter what I always average 3-5 wrong per RC section. Sometimes I'll finish with 5+ minutes to spare...and still get 5 questions wrong.
My LR can be good to mediocre. Sometimes I'll get 1 wrong in a section, sometimes I'll get up to 6 wrong. Whenever I review a section where I get more than 4 wrong, at least 2 are due to really stupid mistakes.
I tend to finish LR on time maybe with a few minutes to spare. I usually slow down after question 13 or 14 in order to use more time for the latter half of the questions.
