Thanks alot Kevin for the video.

I have a few concerns regarding my performance with the RC section of the gmat.
Having attempted 3-4 of mock CATs .. the common problem I faced was with the RC section. I end up answering many RC question wrong and to make matter worse the wrong answers are clustered.

I followed a strategy in which I hardly took any notes while attacking/reading the passage. Hence was unable to retain much of the information, that hurts more so in a long passage.

Now I have started taking notes down while I read the passage. This strategy does help as I am retaining more information and as I have to take down notes, I brain is pushed to engage more with the passage. But the concern with this strategy is I have not mastered it in terms of time and I am taking a bit more time than what I should. I have my GMAT on 17th Sept 2014.

Could you please help how can I master this. I have already covered OG and Verbal 2nd edition before, for mastering this strategy i need some more practice. So, please suggest some source with good passages.

Thanks
