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?

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.

Re: How much can you improve RC?
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.

Re: How much can you improve RC?
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.

That's a hell of a job you did there!scoobers wrote:hell yeah I'm self promoting here.
