Week 13 Synthesis: Two Timed RC Passages + Map Review

The first full RC-timing checkpoint of Phase 3: two passage sets, timed, with the four-step method applied throughout.

Timed Drill

Two drill-tier RC passage sets, each timed at roughly 8-9 minutes including questions. Build the paragraph map explicitly before answering. Blind-review both afterward and log results — your first RC-specific timing data point.

Practice items on this page are curriculum-authored in LSAT style; they are not official LSAC questions. Real drilling happens on LawHub — see the assignment below.

Q1. On your first timed passage you finish with 2 minutes to spare and 90% accuracy; on the second, you run out of time with several unanswered questions. What's the likely cause?

A. The second passage is inherently unrateable

B. Fatigue or a harder/denser second passage — worth flagging in your log to see if the pattern repeats

C. Timing doesn't matter in RC

D. You should stop doing timed RC drills

Correct answer: B. A single instance could be passage difficulty or early fatigue — log it and watch for whether the pattern repeats across future timed sets before drawing a firm conclusion.

Week 14 goes deeper on individual RC question types: Detail, Inference, Author's Attitude, and Function, each get dedicated (not maintenance-level) treatment.
