I tried following Manhattan's guidance on note taking for these types of questions but I'm having trouble using it effectively. Any others out there that were reluctant to take notes and then converted?

I just want to read the passage and get to the questions. Trying to take notes seems like a waste of time, and when I do take them, they're never useful and I end up going back to the passage anyway!

I can't comment on MGMATs method, but I can say that Kaplan agrees that notes are an essential part of our strategy as well.

Remember, just because you went back to the text of an RC doesn't mean the notes weren't useful. Did you have to re-scan the entire passage looking for the detail you needed to research? Probably not, because even though your notes didn't have the answer, the included the location of the answer--and by skipping straight to the relevant paragraph and avoiding that frantic search of the whole text, you've already made up the time it took you to scribble down a summary.
