Reading Comprehension: Specific Detail Questions

westcoastbestcoast

For high scorers (high 160s, 170s), how have you guys kept answered questions from reading comprehension passages that test on specific details from the passage accurately and efficiently. These questions stump me because they usually test a detail that I may have glossed over. I usually fare ok on the questions that test passage structure but this particular question type has been getting me recently. I noticed in particular when the passage asks about a detail relating to a particular time frame, I find myself wondering where I have seen that particular detail.

Thanks

I think your notation style becomes very important for the specifics. If you haven't seen it yet, watch Nicoles webinar on RC notation for some really excellent tips.

There is also this thread the has great notes on how to break down a passage: https://7sage.com/discussion#/discussion/6959/rc-annotation-method-and-br-gnp-vs-human-indicators-passage

There are a lot of different strategies, but they key for me is try to make sure I can get back into the passage quickly to find things like dates, theories, names and I achieve that through my notation system.
