I'm going through the RC curriculum and keep reading Kevin's suggestion to try to do the low res summaries mentally due to time. Timing in RC is 100 % an issue for me. Personally, writing down the summaries has increased my RC score but I am still short on time. I just find if I don't write it down I get panicky & get lost. I find it way harder to retain without writing it down. With that being said, if its really worth trying to do it mentally, I'll try but not sure its best for me. I comprehend things best when I write them down I think. What does everyone else do? What are your reasonings behind it?

@ I have just been BR everything which I am realizing now I should try to only BR the ones im not confident in. Sometimes I think I got a question 100% right and it ends up wrong which is what has held me back from only reviewing ones I am unconfident in.
Hey guys, I have been blind reviewing each PT and drills. I have been hiding my original answer and trying to answer without "bias". Is this what we are supposed to do? Or does that waste additional time? Thoughts?
I dont understand when people say "Create a drill with all questions from that section" because it only lets you select 25 questions maximum?
I usually do all Cs but recently tried all Ds & I feel like D was less common. Does anyone have a certain one they always do and why?
Super vague question but how do you recommend to study for reading comprehension? I get like 16 problems wrong each time. I just always feel way too rushed to comprehend the text. I've got a good understanding of LR but lost of where to start with RC.
I'm in the same boat. Needed a mental break.
I just honestly think drilling a few times a week, reviewing what you get wrong and always doing low res summaries will mitigate it. I struggle with this too. I am trying to figure out which passage types are best for me to skip when it comes down to it. I've learned comparative passages are not best to skip because they have more questions so youll get more wrong.
Interesting. I've never really felt like caffeine could affect my accuracy to that extent. Maybe it is placebo. I would suggest not overthinking it that much & making sure you are getting good sleep.
Im in the EXACT word for word boat as you.
I figured B was wrong because you would need outside knowledge to know carcinogenic is a cancer related term...
I would post pone until you're consistently scoring where you want to be.
