Notes or No Notes

I've a problem with C.R. questions, when i read the question i tend to take note like i read in MGMAT materials but it's time consuming, but if i didn't take note like Veritas book says i get lost in the question and i find myself need to read it twice before i really get the premise and the conclusion, please help me which method is better should i practice myself to solve effectively with or without taking notes.
Thanks

There is no single technique that works best for everyone. Some people take extensive notes and do great. Other people take almost no notes and do great. Given what you're saying here, it seems like it might make sense to try finding a middle ground, one in which you're taking very brief notes. If, for example, an argument asserts that a certain company is having a sale on a product, and thus expects to increase revenue, your very brief notes might look like this:

C: Rev. Up
P: Sale

And that's it. Enough to keep you focused, but not so extensive that it will eat up much time.

So try to find something that feels comfortable for you and then practice that approach until you've mastered it.
