Hi guys! Hope y'all had a great weekend! Just a really quick question for you guys.
So… JY's memory method didn't work for me at all-- I tried this a WHILE ago multiple times. Nicole's strategies, however, have been far more helpful to me. Now, do you guys think that these two methods are complementary? I feel like they are quite different…if not the opposite. I've been really confused. Oh yes, Mike Kim's RC tips do help too and his is more closely aligned with Nicole's. Like Mike's, Nicole's strategies don't require that we memorize the key components of the contents even though I do concur that both methods insist that we focus on the reasoning structure. Has anyone felt the same before? I'd like to know what y'all think about this. Thanks!

Yes, I think they are very complimentary. Though they have there differences, I don't feel as though they are opposites, I can totally see how you feel that way. I think Nicole's strategy is more or less based on The LSAT Trainer's RC lessons and somewhat uses many of the same techniques as the memory method. I just think the approach is a bit different, but in the end, as you stated, you are reading for reasoning structure and looking for the same key things in every passage.
Like @tanes256 said, find what works for you and use it. I feel like you can learn a lot from the memory method, Nicole's adaptation, and The LSAT Trainer and then take and use things from each that work for ya.
Can't tell you how much I love @"Nicole Hopkins" and her RC strategy!
Which method do you use for RC?
Which method do you use for RC?
Of course dude!
To be quite honest, I haven't began prepping for reading comp yet. It is one of those sections that just really click for me. LR is the section that is going to be a battle for me...
I think the memory method, Nicole's strategy, and The LSAT Trainer have a lot more in common than we think. You can kind of use them in tandem.... Essentially I feel like Nicole's is a combination of the Trainer and JY's method, with elements of Manhattan RC. I think I will plan on using some variation of Nicole's take though.
By all means though, do what works for you! Try all the methods out if you have the time
Hey is there any working link to Nicole's notation strategy webinar?
following; does anyone have this link
