Hello, 7Sage team & fellow 7Sagers.
I have been utilizing the RC passage explanations and have been wondering what I am supposed to get out of them. It seems the level of detail you all go into is well beyond the level of detail we should be absorbing during our read through under time pressure.
In the lessons, we were given a somewhat different sort of break down where low res. summaries and predictions of the following paragraph content were discussed. I found this very helpful as a check on how I broke down the passage and utilized this analysis to answer the questions.
I realize that there is a passage summary underneath the video explanation, but again I am just confused on how these video explanations aid in our RC abilities.
I apologize if their usefulness is obvious to everyone else. I just felt the need to express my thoughts in a manner in which I could receive some feedback.
Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for clearing up what a high scorer does during a RC section. From my understanding of the RC curriculum, Low-Res summaries were a physical action of writing down short paraphrases of key points/perspectives. Additionally, from my perspective, I thought highlighting and underlining was a practice that high scorers utilized regularly.
I tend to be a slower test taker and the addition of highlighting, underlining, and physically writing low-res summaries seemed to slow me down. I may continue, for now at least, to be more physical in my analysis of RC passages; however, I now have the goal of relying less on physical notes and more on mental notes.
