I read a post on here a couple of weeks back, where someone was recommending reading dense materials to train the brain to process text-based information. The author of the post stated that we live in a world now where we are all watching video clips and getting things broadcasted to us, and as a result it interferes with our ability to read efficiently. I couldn't agree more. Most of my incorrect answer choices on LR were due to missing a key word, or forgetting a critical idea from the passage that led me to select the "attractive" wrong answer almost every time.
I decided to read each question in pictures in my head instead of reading the words and trying to process information that way.
Basically as I read the question, each piece of information is drawn onto the blank image in my mind if you will. It helps to create characters, exaggerate scenes or actions, etc. I guess it's similar to the way Blueprint tries to teach their students. I do the same thing, just quicker, for each answer choice. For me, it has helped tremendously. I realize it may sound silly. I realize it may sound as if it's even more work. It isn't. Those of you who may find yourself struggling a bit, give it a shot on a couple of sections and see how it works for you. Obviously, you still need to have a thorough understanding of the various question types and how to attack them. I hope I can help at least one of you guys
