@SeanStrauss I found the summary was time consuming and I didn’t improve. I currently am around a -2 on RC, and I did worse with summarizing. I think it’s what works for you!
I've been using a technique I found on reddit for highlighting and I thought it was a game changer. When highlighting, only highlight one word in a sentence or per point, and only after you've read through the paragraph. Blue is the main point, yellow highlight premises for the main point, pink is the authors opinion and green is allocated to other peoples opinions. When answering primary purpose questions, look for blue. Author opinions - pink, others attitudes - green, and directly stated, use search and look for your yellows.
Hi all!
I'm studying part time and could use support and motivation. I've been studying for the last few months, mostly doing CC. I'm feeling a little stuck around 162 and am aiming for a 173. If anyone is in the area and has the similar ambitions, please feel free to reach out and we can make a What's app GC!
Good luck studying!

I was able to successfully answer all questions - however for question number 4 the subject-noun being "the formation of" is fundamentally less helpful in understanding the kernel of the sentence than "hurricanes". "hurricanes [are] triggered." This would better aid the reader in finding important information. Why is "the formation of" a better subject-noun?
@IvyBurt Also, so dumb, but I JUST figured out that adjectives and adverbs are a great way to spot authors opinion.
