I just watched a video where someone gave the complete opposite advice on time on passage vs. time on questions lol. Something different works for everyone. I personally like to read passages at least twice.

Same concept with LG. Spending time to set up the game, make inferences and deductions, the answers jump off the page. Reading carful is key. Slow down to speed up! Thank you!❤🙏🏾☀️💪🏾

Thank you for the advice! This is exactly what I've been looking for.

I've seen tons of videos where people recommend skimming or close reading. Tons of conflicting ideas to say the least. I "practiced" skimming (reading sentence 1 and the last sentence of each paragraph) and consistently answered questions incorrectly so I thought I would take the route of close reading, which I've been more successful with, but still need more practice. Your video offered the perspective of trying to summarize each paragraph in a sentence after reading it; I love having something specific to work on with regards to improving my reading comprehension. I was mainly trying to find viewpoints of either the author or subject(s) in the passage, but it would make sense to also try and summarize the paragraphs to not only retain main points but to remember how the passage is structured as well.

Easier said than done, though. I better get to practicing! Again, thank you for the advice.

RC is my weakest section but I got some great suggestions.

[jessicam]

You have two channels. Great ! I LOVE that.

[JohnSmith-uqjx]

great advice. I'll never understand the strategy of "skim the passage". The section is called Reading Comprehension for a reason

[RH-syid]

I have practiced law in State and Federal courts for 20 years. The RC section on the LSAT serves no purpose.

When doing legal research or reviewing documents, I read and re- read the materials as many times as necessary and usually make notes as I go along.

The LSAt approach to comprehending written materials has zero relevance to studying or practicing law.

WAIT! Is that my favorite blue print instructor?

[Ahna_Amour]

What should we do if we are reading a passage with hard terminology.

Did you move out of Blue Print to Magoosh? Or are you in both?
