Is it a big problem - time loosing technique if we jot down the low res? I am starting the RC and still fear that I may not remember all the elements. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Low-res summaries definitely are very helpful, and I think I should keep using it, but I realized that it appears so much easier to do when I'm listening to these walkthroughs than when I'm doing it on my own. I'm not sure if it's just the lack of focus when doing the drills or a lack of understanding, but the inability to break down the passages is definitely the main reason why I struggle in RC so much.
Any tips for how we can scribe some of this on paper, for online test takers?? Obliviously can't mark up the text well enough. Right now I'm just scribbling (1) intro (2)support. cred, resists pers, +old news).... but I don't know if this is enough.
Highlight the first word of each paragraph break and then on my allowed scratch paper write down the number of the paragraph break (1st highlight = paragraph break #1 etc.) and the corresponding low res summary.
I understand this takes extra time, but I'm just not someone who is going to be able to keep track of the low res summaries in my head. For me, taking the extra time to use my method is a lot faster than me re-reading the passage multiple times to try and remember what my mental low res summaries were. This isn't a perfect strategy, but it's the best one for me.
P.S. my toxic trait is continuing to read and leave comments despite already being behind on my LSAT prep...not me taking the November test :)
I like the videos overall but would really love to see some lessons using the new format for reading comp.
Simple strategies like paragraph breaks intimidate under a timed situation since we don't have the same ability to mark up the passage as shown in your videos.
Are we able to highlight or make paragraph breaks like he does in the video? Will we be able to do this on test day, if not? Active engagement is how my brain best processes the info; it just doesn't work trying to make all the notes in my head. Any help here would be greatly appreciated
Does anyone have an effective way of making those internal paragraph breaks in RC passages? I have tried to do it in my head, but I've found that Ill lose track of them and can lose time trying to find it again.
Do you think it ever makes sense to jot down your low res summary? I have been finding it helpful as I try to apply the curriculum to RC for the first time. Especially in the revisit the passage stage, it really helps me form my mental map as I can see how everything I jotted comes together to create the shape of the passage.
How should we break paragraphs up on the digital version? With the highlight feature?

should we write down our low-res summary on a piece of paper?

this may be a goofy question, but do we get any sort of scratch paper or note opportunity in the actual exam.

Ive been writing my low res summaries and its helping me tremendously.. should i not be doing this when i actually take the test?

how to identify if it is the author making the point, like in the beginning of the second paragraph?

9:50 we got a lotta raisins
how does highlighting help with low res? is doing both effective?
How do you recommend we effectively annotate self-made paragraph breaks if we're taking the tests online?
