Dear crew:
I would like to start out that I enjoy working on all types of RC passages and prefer to work on the hardest. Science and law passages are my most favorite. But there is ONE passage type that is an absolute disaster for me in terms of the # of missed questions, and applying the study advice is making it worse. -The jargon rich medical passages.
I am supposed to pay attention to the structure of the passage, do my lo-res summaries and not memorize the medical lingo. Yea. That's not working for me. If I do attempt to memorize the medical terms I do bad, if I don't I might as well not even bother.
At this point I fear I will have to just hope one of this monsters does not appear on the test and I hate to leave anything to hope.
Does anyone have any advice? Anything I could try?
Please help me slay the beast! 🙏🏼
Thank you.

Big words are traps. Just understand the concept like there's a disease and it does x, y, z, and the author thinks x, y, and z about it
Think about high level ideas! It's not about the details of the medical processes or how they work, but what the author thinks about them. Try replacing the complex idea/term with a vague catch-all term like "this condition" or "this process" and read through, just thinking about structure/relationships and author view. Answer as many questions as you can with that lens, and then any more passage specific questions you can go back and look for explanatory details :)
Do you think it’ll work if you don’t memorize medical words and instead referred to them as the first letter of their word. Like if you were to read “hypotension,” you refer to it as “H” in your brain haha at least, that’s what I do
