Just completed the video. Very helpful. I also noticed that you mentioned elsewhere that you can't read a passage for main point and also read it for something else. How would we apply this? Should we read it as main point first, note it mentally, then read it regularly? Or is reading the main point just a strategy when you see a difficult to understand passage and its a good strategy to get some questions right rather than nothing at all?
the main point is what you should *always* read for when you're reading the passages.
two reasons why:
1) the main point is usually not written explicitly in the passage, while the details *are* written explicitly;
2) realistically, it's impossible to remember all the details anyway. yes, not just hard -- impossible.
as far as details, you shoudn't try to remember them -- you should just try to remember
what kind of details are located
where in the passage (a vague "mental table of contents", so to speak). that way, if you need those particular details, you can just go back and look them up; and if you don't, then you haven't wasted your time.
