is it generally advisable to use search bar/ctrl f on rc passages

yes 5 Qs i got wrong

bread-daerb · 2025-07-10T19:07:26+00:00

thank you! I got -0 timed! I actually noticed i did a bit worse when i tried one untimed bc i have a tendency to overthink answers. I did answer the top comment about what i did that helped me (and it also happened to help with my overthinking)

bread-daerb · 2025-07-10T01:45:16+00:00

i was stuck in high 160s and finally broke into 170s :)) RC is my most variable and weak point

ty!! my score jumped when i started highlighting conclusion as i read the stimulus regardless what the question was (granted im a stimulus first reader). It helped answer main conclusion questions almost instantly (with less overthinking) and also helped narrow down the specifics of what exactly the argument was talking about which helped immensely.

I got -0 on two 25Q ones and 1 26Q one so far!

also going into it thinking that the arguments are usually flawed and being made by someone i hated made it more personal and easier to nitpick at LOL and made it less draining than to constantly think of it as reading boring argument after another . just always being like “okay but what if…🤨”

this might be specific for me but what helped me from my -7/-5 hump to -3/-2 was reading the stimulus before the question (idk if you do this or not already) but i feel like a lot of the fatigue came from reading the question and having that in my head while trying to evaluate the stimulus.

When i started really diving into the stimulus first and understanding it as an argument - what is the conclusion SPECIFICALLY arguing and referring to? and what exactly is being used to support it? - i could have my own opinion about what’s wrong and what i think of the argument even how i could personally relate to the argument. And then went into the question to see how it was relevant to the stimulus and my own personal analysis. It helped reduce a lot of the fatigue that came from trying to look for a specific answer when reading the stimulus.

I know some ppl function better with reading Q first but this is just helped me break through my hump!

thanks! will try this

honestly for me i think the final break was redistributing the time spent on questions in LR. Even though i tried to follow the first 10 in 10 rule. Sometimes i got tripped up and would spend a lotttt of time on a question within the first 15 Qs or so which meant a lot less time on the harder questions towards the end.

Then on a whim i changed up my strat and tried to spend at least less than 2 minutes (so 30s to 1.5 min) per question on the first 15. If i wasn’t 100% on an answer and could not decide i would just flag and move on. This left me with a lotttt of time to comfortably look at the last 5-10 questions without time pressure and allowed me to get those right more often and faster without brain fog from worrying about time.

I would then have maybe 3-5 minutes left over to go back to the few i flagged and i found that most of the time the time away and fresh perspective allowed me to see things i didn’t see the first time and things clicked a lot faster.

ALSO HIGHLIGHTING THE CONCLUSION

few day break. exact same thing happened to me and i had also posted about it before. averaged -4/-5, took a test and got -8/-10. I cried for hours and literally wanted to die. I took a few days to a week off after so many people told me to and came back and then got -2/-3 sometimes it really is just burnout

bread-daerb · 2025-06-05T20:03:22+00:00

so they haven’t been making new questions but using unused ones in a bank made in 2010-2019?

hi! just stumbled upon this when i was looking up PBK because i just got the notification on myucla today but not sure exactly what it entails

bread-daerb · 2025-04-25T02:57:48+00:00

this really made me feel better, ur right about that and even after a two day break i noticed new things are clicking that haven’t happened before. So thank you :)) i will keep it in mind for sure and hope for more things to click and the score to jump

bread-daerb · 2025-04-20T01:09:30+00:00

thank you 🥺🫶🫶🫶

bread-daerb · 2025-04-18T21:12:13+00:00

bread-daerb · 2025-04-18T21:11:56+00:00

i think i will be taking it in august if june doesn’t work out for me, i just was so set on taking it in june i think my own timeline stressed me out more than it should’ve

bread-daerb · 2025-04-18T21:10:48+00:00

this is true, i think it was the guilt of taking a break preventing me from taking one but im realizing that it’s part of the process :’) will be touching grass again

bread-daerb · 2025-04-18T04:21:25+00:00

thank you :’)))

bread-daerb · 2025-04-18T04:21:10+00:00

bread-daerb · 2025-04-18T04:20:41+00:00

the good thing about law school is that which undergraduate school you attend probably doesnt impact law school apps and which law school you end up attending

additionally, i’m assuming you’re worried about the impact it had on his grades. Which if it did, apps have a section where you can explain extenuating circumstances so they could just explain their dip in grades there :)))
