I dont run out of time on the reading comp passages when the passages are science based or techical. With a technical passage its easier to keep the information straight and organized.
If the passages is on humanities then I start to run out of time because the questions ask about the author's viewpoint or to make an inference. Questions where you're asked to find a statement the author would be most likely to agree with, cause me trouble.
For some reason, I find myself with two different options that look attractive for one reason or another. Im hoping to crack this problem before the October LSAT.

I would rather do 8 out of 10 questions and get 8 right and to do 10 questions and score 7 right.
Rather than speeding up, try slowing down, forgetting about the clock and working on accuracy.
What is your study plan?

I had the same problem. But taking the exam in as real conditions as possible and getting enough rest, after a bunch of questions, really helped me. Just keeping working at it. you will speed up and following the tricks the study aides tell you to use.

You are not practicing right. As you practice more you will speed up. Just trying doing more questions following the outline techniques you are learning and you should naturally speed up as you gain more experience working with these questions.

What is your overall accuracy in % or ratio form?
For Logical Reasoning (LR): Use the LRB and focus on the answers that always incorrect for each question type. After reading the stimulus and the question stem, look first to eliminate the answer choices that are definitely wrong. If three answers do not jump out at you immediately as being wrong, then you've either misunderstood the stimulus or the question stem. It's much quicker to consider two correct answer choices than it is to think about five.
For Reading Comprehension (RC): You need to go back to basics and re-learn how to fundamentally read and retain information. I know this sounds ridiculous, but try reading Mortimer Adler's "How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading".
Are you taking an LSAT preparation course? If so, which one?
An LSAT preparation course, books, and practice is get you ready for the exam by October!

I was interested in whether anyone had any tips on how I can gain speed and work quicker through Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections????
Right now, I can only finish at most 18-20 questions on Logical Reasoning and never more than three passages on Reading Comprehension (usually about 2 1/2). Logic Games isn't too bad for me though.
I'm scoring at 157 right now and i'm taking the October LSAT. I need to see that score get up to 165 on test day. Any advice on how to move quicker through these sections would really help!
