Tips to get -0 on tricky LSAT reading passages from a 175 scorer (even if you're a slow reader) 

Just did a reading comp section with this strategy and it worked fairly well! Without focusing too much, my score turned out to be a little better than what I usually get.

Thank you for this video Trevor! This made RC so much easier for me to understand.

Interesting: “spend more time on the answer choices than the passage”, that might be my barrier. I also rarely if ever refer back to the passage, idk why I try to remember the whole thing lol.

I also find that you should do the general questions (main point, author's tone) first and then do more specific questions. This saves time.

Hey Trevor, thanks for this video. It makes sense for very difficult passages to not lose time in trying to understand details or middle sentences of the paragraph where they will either- not be understood anyways OR not tested on. However, do you personally read the entire passage for easier passages. In this video it seemed you stopped at the point where it became complicated quickly and backed off to the overall reasoning structure....on easier passages would you just keep reading if the content was understandable and digestible? And then, is there even a point to try and read the whole passage (even if you can) because you just showed here how to attack the questions without being stopped by those details anyways. Basically if you can do it without, is that the way to go on any difficulty of passage? Excellent video, you bring a new efficiency to RC!

Thanks a lot it's very useful video to better your rc but the tricks you are showing are bit lengthy. But would you please make a video on how to get difficult rc right in a fast manner and some exercises to get at it.

Thank you!! I’m going to try out some of these techniques!!

So the only reason I’ve heard against this technique is the fact that you have to refer back to the passage multiple times, looking for specific details - opposed to looking at your tags/notes which would’ve been done if you read the entire thing. In this case, clearly not reading the entire thing was able to work , but it seems like that was reliant on the fact that you were able to find specific terms/words in the passage within seconds? But i feels as though that’s usually not the case, for me anyways. So how are you able to find specific details that fast? How long should we be looking - at what point should I say, this is taking too long- followed up with what would be my next move? Skim the passage until I find it? Or move on to next question?

Hey Trevor, like the method. I have one question. what If the first sentence is background information or the last sentence is unrelated to the first sentence or both? Or the last sentence seems to be a quotation from out of nowhere? Thanks

Thank you for this

Trevor, great video, your methods are helping me a lot. On passages like this (more difficult ones), what would you say your average timing of getting through them full-speed is? Pacing is my biggest struggle, so it's become the most important thing for me to master.

Does Khan Academy recommend reading like this as well?

do you have any tips on recognizing harder passages quickly.

woah lol
