Hello
I have started my mission GMAT last weekend and I need some real help with RC strategy. I have went through a lot of youtube videos / articles on how to best approach RC. gmatclub. com/forum/verbal-rc-help-30247.html was certainly one of the best.
I am atleast able to solve basic questions with the strategy but for medium to tough questions (on grockit.com) take me atleast 7-10 mins just to take down notes for big passages. Also, the notes sometimes don't even end up helping with the Q.
I need some new note taking tips + strategies to solve medium / complex questions in lot less time. I have also tried grockit.com that tell to just read the first and last line and solve the Q. I am new so not so confident with that method yet.
Any other tips wud be great.
Thanks!

Taking down notes is a good strategy, however if you're finishing the passage in 7-10 mins that means you're not taking down notes effectively. Note taking doesn't mean just jotting down the details in the passage, it means your the condensed version of your opionion about a paragraph alongwith some details in as many few words as possible.
How many passages have you practised the strategies you have learnt on. Generally, RC needs a lot of practice and you'll have to fine tune your strategies as a result of which you'll eventually become better at RCs.

I have tried this memorizing method several times and fail miserably. I end up frustrated going back and forth and end up guessing. From what I have read GMAT does not expects you to memorize it either.
