I am working thru the Manhattan GMAT guide on CR. It advocates making abbreviated notes after each sentence, focusing on key words & ideas and identifying the premises from the conclusion.
I have yet to actually test myself using this strategy (I am currently just practicing making notes on each passage), but it takes 60-90 seconds to make my notes and that seems like an awfully long period of time considering each verbal question is supposed to take <2 minutes in its entirety. Is this truly the most reliable, time-tested strategy to succeed on CR?
So my question is, do you use/have you used this note-taking strategy? If so, what are your thoughts and what is your GMAT score (if applicable?) Have you modified it in any way?
