Varying LR Sections

Hey guys,
On my tests so far, by LG and reading comp have been very consistent (LG -1 or -0, RC -10--RC not too good, I know lol)
But my LR is pretty random. I'll get -3 sometimes or -5/6. Is this amount of variance normal? Also, in my PTs my first section LR section I always score significantly higher than the second...Is this the case for anyone else? Is it because the sections are different difficulties, or because maybe my stamina is lacking?
Thanks in advance

The LR sections do vary in difficulty but if you are ALWAYS scoring higher on the second one, then it's more likely a stamina issue.
Some variance is normal, but make sure you keep drilling and getting LR down pat. Variance could also mean that sometimes you're just getting lucky and don't truly know a certain question type.

Hey Rigo,
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for your insight and advice!

Based on what you said, it is a stamina issue.
Here is the analogy:
I am sure you are an excellent section taker (good short-distance runner), but LSAT is more like a marathon
Try to measure your effectiveness with time. Do you get bored? Distracted?
Maybe, it makes sense to create an Excel type of spreadsheet and keep track of your analytics just to know how and why it happens.
Hope it helps
