Hi there,
Good question. Notes can help you stay engaged on RC. I wouldn't use notes to answer questions though. They're really to keep you active and interacting with the passage.
That doesn't mean that you
have to take notes to be successful on RC. Sometimes I take notes. Sometime I don't. For tutoring students I suggest
trying notes because, again, they can really help keep you engaged.
See what works for you.
On CR, notes
can be OK every once in a while on questions that lend themselves to some organizing but otherwise can be time consuming and potentially distracting.
Happy studies,
A.
