Hey 7Sagers,
For a whole month, I'll be leading Reading Comp review sessions every other day. These sessions are open to all 7Sagers who have an account, free or paid.
In total, I'm going to cover 8 PTs of RC. That's 32 passages.
I'll do this over 16 sessions, covering two passages per session.
All sessions will start at 9pm and end at midnight, Eastern Time.
If you're on the west coast, that's 6pm - 9pm, Pacific Time.

Should I join these sessions?
If you've finished or are almost finished with the RC section of the Core Curriculum, then this is meant for you. At minimum, I will assume that you've finished every lesson in the "Reading Comprehension - Science" lesson set. First lesson from that class is here.
How many of these sessions should I join?
Probably half or fewer. The reason is because you don't want to waste PTs. You'll learn something from these sessions but the returns diminish at some point. And there's value in keeping a subset of these PTs clean so you can use them as fully timed PTs.
What happens in these sessions?
We'll read the passage together, paragraph by paragraph. I'll ask you to make low resolution summaries of each paragraph. We'll use those low res summaries to build higher resolution summaries. Then, we'll answer the questions together.
How should I prepare?
Have a clean, unmarked copy of the PT ready in front of you so we can read and answer the questions together. Please wear headphones and try to be in a quiet place. It's okay if you've done the passage before. It's also okay if you've never seen the passage before.
Will these sessions be recorded?
No. If you're looking for video explanations of these passages, you can find them on your Progress page.
How do I join?
Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

@kathiastoledo456 Not to be too dramatic but it's life changing.
Here's the link to an aggregate RC timing sheet I made pulling data from 3 RC sections that I recorded. I've stripped the answers from the sheets and anonymized them.
I think these sessions might be great opportunities for 7Sagers to learn J.Y.'s method of doing AB passages (dual/comparative passages).
Here is a list of AB passages and dates of sessions:
PT58 Passage 4: Sat, May 5
PT59 Passage 1: Mon, May 7
PT60 Passage 2: Fri, May 11
PT61 Passage 3: Thu, May 17
PT62 Passage 3: Mon, May 21
PT63 Passage 4: Fri, May 25
PT64 Passage 3: Tue, May 29
PT65 Passage 3: Sat, Jun 2

This is awesome, thanks for arranging! Should we do the section in advance and treat this as BR/review or come to the sessions without reading in advance?
Hi JY! I'm still in the Logical Reasoning portion of the core curriculum, but I could skip ahead and try to get through the RC curriculum so I can participate in this. Do you recommend skipping ahead or just staying on the path as its intended? Thanks!
Do you sleep J.Y.? This is just awesome!
Can't tell you how delightful it was to wake up to this post!
These sessions have helped me tremendously, not only with techniques, but with being more in tune with my confidence levels answering questions. Not to sound ungrateful but would absolutely LOVE the same set up for LR ...... (fingers crossed)
@aash95383 JY has already said that these won't be recorded but there are video explanations for these available.
JY, thank you so much to have this experience with you!!
I am travelling thru next Monday night but printed out a fresh copy of PT58 & 59 (thanks to Ultimate +) I will not have wi-fi and not in an environment to actively participate but plan on calling in for the first few sessions if ok to listen in? Look forward to future sessions to be more actively involved!
Yay!! So awesome!
Thank you for doing this J.Y.! This is awesome! A quick question, for those of us who are on the East Coast and may be busy during this time will the videos be retrievable later?
Will there be another "set" of RC review(s)
First session starting in 20 minutes!
@njytan245 @suznannthomp484
It's not a bad idea. But don't skip the Argument nor Grammar set of lessons. And you should do the RC lessons I mentioned above.
This is god sent
This is sick! Thanks JY!!
Thank you JY can’t wait.
Stoked!
This sounds Amazing. Will definitely join for some of the even # PTs. Can’t wait for the first one!

is there anyway to access the lessons if I can't make the 9-12 time slot?
No :( These sessions are not recorded! You have explanation videos :)
@kathiastoledo456 Thank you! I will be joining today's session :smiley:
@kathiastoledo456 thanks!
@rar0521865 possibly in the future but no plans
That comparative passage technique from last night.....life changing!
Hoping I can get in on this weekend. I'm not really a group person, but I'm willing to give it a go.
