RC has always been my worst section by far and it turns out I just needed a framework to tackle the passages. I haven't needed to look at the passage a single time to answer the questions. Bless the Low-Res summary
#feedback Like in the last couple modules of LR, can we have the lesson time reflect the few minutes it takes to answer the question, do blind review, and watch the video?
@naomi.mullings2 honestly i just read the part of the passage that the question was asking about and I was under 5:23 min and i got the question right under 22 seconds.
wont always work but thats how I saved time this time
If you had a low res summary it should not take that long.
If you followed along all the lessons with this passage you may remember that the low res summary recommended for the second paragraph was: Rivier - Gods force decision. This points us to the correct AC fairly quickly.
Keep practicing and dont worry too much about time until you get more comfortable. Timing will come naturally with practice. Focusing on comprehension at this point is much more important.
tbh it really is hard so dont beat yourself up. maybe try to take in one sentence at a time and see how to connects to each other. then when you finish the paragraph, do that low res summary.
try to be engaging with the passage, it helps you actively understand. ofc this takes lots of practice, just keep trying and trying and you'll eventually see the patterns and your habits.
18 seconds faster than target! let's go! the low-res summary is super helpful, though I am worried about how I will be able to implement this on test day given time restraints
With a lot of practice, you won't really need to explicitly think about making low-res summaries. And, a lot of the separate steps that we work through for each paragraph blend together. It feels clunky when you're first starting out, but with practice you'll get a lot faster. (Also, low-res summaries should ideally be just a mental thing; writing out notes usually takes too long for most people.)

Woahhh I like this new curriculum. Great stuff guys.
1st to get right in RC! May this continue for us all.
The low-res summaries really do help a lot. I think that was my mistake before. I wasn't really doing them the way they should be done.
Chat I got my first RC drill right!!!!!!
Oh, so now you are saying I'm too quick?
sooooo helpful to have the text explained earlier!!!!! the low res summaries are one of the best pieces of advice given. thank u.
It makes it soo easy when they explain what the readings say lol
You make breaking it down look so easy. I feel like your breakdown makes answering easy!
Maybe everything will be ok...
22 seconds damn, the low res summaries really help seperate each persons viewpoints/arguments
A was just a little bit sneaky
0:00 slower than target, I must be #himothy.

I got the answer correct, but I was 2 minutes above the target time. What can I do to lower that?

#critique I think this should have been a different passage from the one we learned in the previous lesson
yay got this one correct
Did chuckle at the reading the passage speed. Now the drill page thinks I read like the flash.
I'm having trouble understanding what the passage is trying to say...any suggestions?
