For me, I have difficulties remembering and fully comprehending complex reading comprehension passages. With the Lo-res summaries, I feel that they are too short for me to get a good grasp of the passage itself. It's only when I write a few sentences per paragraph as a summary that I understand the passage completely. I know that this method isn't the best, especially for time, but is there a way around this?
Someone may have brought it up to you guys, but it just occurred to me that the way you are teaching us to mark up the passage is actually an accomodation. Most people will not be able to write notes directly next to where opinions are formed in the passage with a pen or pencil. We will have a separate sheet. I believe that future students could benefit from seeing you use a separate piece of paper/screen, and the controls available to us on the test (underline, highlight different colors, etc). Thank you for what you've created.
Are we doomed to fail to fail if we write down these low-res summaries during the test? I'm afraid I won't remember when there are multiple viewpoints, and I feel it could take me more time if I have to keep looking over the paragraphs.
it's mentioned previously that in a timed situation, lo-res summaries are best done mentally. the lo-res recap technique seems somewhat reliant on having written them down, if the idea is to cover it up and recap ourselves. do you believe it's possible during the actual test to remember all the lo-res summaries/reader-created paragraph breaks mentally without taking some physical notes?
I was planning on taking the LSATS using the paper and pencil format. Would I be able to mark up some of the passages (with notes) as I read along with pencil on the LSATS? I don't know if that would mess up the grading system.

#feedback The lessons on custom-made medical illustrations are incredibly helpful. I was never this clear in RC section. Thank you Kevin!

if author has a perspective in the passage then he or she is the main point when answering the questions! got it
I have always struggled on RC. However, I find this new RC CC very helpful. Well done 7 sage thank you!!!
