Happy weekend my GMAT friends,
Throughout my life, I have always needed to annotate a passage directly on the page. Obviously, you cannot do that on the GMAT. I have noticed that my accuracy greatly improves when I am able to highlight/circle etc. things on a page.
I have tried taking notes on a white board for RC but find that I am still disconnected with the passage and get lost in just plain text on a screen. I have also unsuccessfully tried moving my cursor to follow. I have also tried to act very interested as to argue/prove a point to someone I hate about the passage. All of these methods have not helped me that much.
For those who share a similar learning style, what other strategies or approaches have you taken to remain more engaged with the passage? I realize that this is a loaded question, but I am surprised by how simple mark-ups directly on the screen have really helped me/how not being able to do so on the GMAT is hurting me.
Thanks pals!

Hi woohoo921.
How many passages have you done while taking notes separately? Do you think you'll just become better at keeping track with practice?

I went through all of the passages for the OG 2020 and OG separate verbal guide timed.
RC is my major weakness. I scored a 32 on the ACT section of reading but have really struggled with reading on the GMAT.
I have not been able to get past the mid-thirties on verbal (scored a 38 though once out of the 6 practice exams I took). Unfortunately, my RC tanks from lack of focus/fatigue/disconnect with the passage. In practice sets when I tried annotating, I noticed how much my accuracy improves. Given that I can't do this on the actual exam, I was hoping that someone else out there overcame the same challenges I am mentioning.
A long-winded answer for you, Mr. Marty!
Scored a 660 (45 Q and 35 V) on a recent official exam and am looking to get that verbal up to push a 690 by the end of December!
