  Hey Jackie,

  So for RC I obtain a clean copy and write down low and high resolution summaries for any passage that I had any questions circled for. After that, for any questions I had circled for that passage I write down the question type and what its asking me and I write an in-depth explanation of why each answer is right vs wrong. After I have done that for every question that I had circled for review under time, I check my answer. Then I listen to JY's explanation and make sure that I have the correct reasoning for eliminating or keeping something.

  After I have done this for all the passages I need to review, I write in my journal some of the key issues that led me to miss those questions and then I try to figure out a strategy/drill to address that mistake.

  I hope this helps. Best of luck.

  I also think it's important that most (like, 7/8) questions can be tied directly to a line in the passage. I find that really helpful because it gives you a concrete reason. And then I'm more likely to do that during the actual section, so it builds good habits.

  Thanks so much! I usually do the high/lo res stuff but I think I may need to get more in depth on my answer choice explanations.

  Yeah for sure. I usually try and find line references wherever I can as well.
