LSAT Questions

Question

Hi GMAT Experts  GMATNinja ,  KarishmaB ,  bb ,  sayantanc2k

To improve my speed and accuracy and finally verbal score, I started solving LSAT LR Questions and RC Passages. One thing I noticed that many LR Questions and RC Passage I am encountering are based on Legal Topics, however difficulty I'm facing in RC is humanities/social sciences topics. I'm doing fine in other RC Topics. In CR Questions of GMAT, I'm taking too much time to eliminate options. As, I have exhausted most of the GMAT Official questions, what would be best strategy to improve verbal score? Should I only select questions related to topics I'm having difficulty? LR questions seem to be more varied than CR questions. Need help and guidance.

Regards

Consider checking whether the Official-Guide you purchased came with an online exclusive question bank. Working with a study buddy who is strong on RC and/or CR may be helpful as well. The Share GMAT Experience subforum could also be useful to see what others have done/used to successfully improve their Verbal.

I'm able to infer questions in CR and RC properly and also able to solve correctly most of the time when I take sufficient time especially 2-2.5 minutes for each CR questions and approximately 1.5-2 minutes for each RC questions and 2-3 minutes for reading an average RC passage.. for long passage I usually take 3-4 minutes to read a passage and 1.5-2 minutes to solve each question, but when I try do a streak of questions in timed environment spending less than 2 minutes in each question, I make a series of mistakes.. from my GMAT experience, whenever I've lingered too long in questions, that have hurt my chances to solve other questions correctly.. So, I think LSAT questions can help me build endurance and speed and accuracy but solving LSAT questions randomly can do more damage to me .. hence I need guidance how to approach with LSAT questions..

If you have identified the topics in which you do not do well, doing a few passages on it will not help. Read articles, books, magazines everyday on that topic. To improve on CR, you do not need a 1000 questions. If you know exactly what you have to do on each question type, a few practice questions of each type are sufficient. Normally people do take 2 - 2.5 mins per CR question but they steal time from SC. To improve on RC, your reading speed needs to increase and you need to be comfortable with various topics (it is a slow process though). You can use LSAT RC passages freely for practice.
