Well, I have definitely under anticipated how stressful and time consuming graduating, throwing a party, and moving ten hours away was. Still haven't started studying and am growing more anxious with every one of y'alls posts. But, fear is a great motivator, and I will prevail! (after I actually move in on tuesday lololol)

RC is really starting to click for me which is amazing.

On the other hand, I've spend my Friday night in the library studying for the LSAT...

This is still my biggest flaw after trying a bunch of methods. What have you done to start to make it click?

I've heard that Stanford puts this picture on its rejection letters

My reply can only be 1 more crying Jordan

Nah they glitter bomb you by snail mail.

I'm glad that many of you enjoyed my long winded post haha.

Lmao if I got a rejection with that meme from Stanford... I couldn't even be mad. Well played

DJ- in the meme... or should I say in the actually spongebob episode where he does this, I think he is just mocking someone, and you write whatever someone said in alternating caps to illustrate that.

You picked my favorite meme ever. I actually went as him for Halloween a few years ago. Maybe one guy got it.

+120...

It's like no matter how much drilling I do, and how good I do on drilling, when I do a PT's RC I just shit the bed.

Same here! Major improvements on LR and LG but I still struggle with RC

Well I'm not one of the more experienced users in this thread, but my most general advice is to really adopt the perspective of the author. I barely diagram passages. Rather, I underline what I think is the thesis/MP of the first paragraph, underline shifts in viewpoint, and bracket the key points of a given paragraph. Sometimes I also denote wonky portions of the science passages that seem marginally important but will require review if they are mentioned in questions.

I also am a pretty (although not abnormally) fast reader, so I try to finish the passage in 2 minutes (the science ones usually take 15-30 seconds longer) because it is easier to read the passage quickly and thoroughly and later review a portion in relation to a question, than to read the passage extremely diligently and try to answer almost every question from memory. I have finished almost every RC section with at least 2-3 minutes to spare with this method, and it allows me time to revisit the questions that were most difficult.

ETA: I have gotten 2-4 wrong on most of my RC sections, so I am by no means an authority, and my personal strategies (limited diagramming, question-oriented approach) may not be the best strategy for others (or even myself )"

This is what I said when asked a few days ago

I just drilled a full, timed section (PT 12). Literally had every question right except for #27 (the last question), for which I changed my answer after having doubts about my original AC

I like RC now. It requires the least work and has the least tricky question stems

u wot m8?

RC is pretty intuitive after drilling a handful of sections. The questions are super predictable, and the passages are easy to get through in a couple of minutes (except some science passages), so there is plenty of time for the questions, many of which don't even require that you revisit the passage

LR is my worst section right now, but learning to avoid shell answers has helped out.
