This sounds like one of those Efficient vs Effective situations. Grinding through hours of drilling might seem efficient, but if the end result is poor retention or poor performance, then the overall experience was not optimally effective. I think it's important to understand your own mental stamina levels and develop an intuition for how long your brain can realistically sprint before a break is needed. It makes sense to get comfortable with the idea of resting sufficiently in order to truly maximize the value to be gained from studying.
I’ve taken this approach of not moving on until I’m sure I understand what I’m reading. I started by writing bullet points of what’s going on, now I’m able to rephrase it to myself in my head. I’ve gone from -12 on RC to -5. I also don’t move on from an LR question unless I understand *why* I chose the answer I did, and that’s gotten me from -7 to -2 on LR.
Great videos you guys! I just started watching today and have already improved my RC from getting almost no answers correct to getting most of my answers correct on my practice activities. I'm a nonprofit full-time worker, studying in my off -work time when the kids aren't around and don't have the means to pay for lessons. I just want to say that the free youtube videos are greatly appreciated for a girl like me. I really want to get into law school. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you for this advice. Quick note: I disagree that it’s not important to look into *how* to concentrate on RC. The LSAT rewards proficiency in Reading Comprehension way more than in logic games, so if games are your strength and your RC score is low due to miscomprehension of how to approach it properly, then this is valuable knowledge.

"Your job is to read the first sentence". Love it.

What an eye opener;
Read 1st Sentence, don't understand, read again and comprehend

Any word on those stretches during drilling you mentioned in this episode a year ago? I'm interested!
I would say there are medications if you have concentration problems, memory, etc. start your lsac paper trail.
Don’t be embarrassed. That’s why the lsac has accomodations. Equal opportunity for all.
