What’s your technique, do you really write it down or remember the brief idea? I am having hard time mastering RC questions, if I write stuff down it takes way too much time and if I try remembering I have to revisit the text multiple times just to confirm.
I think you are missing the main point. The actual intention for writing down simplifying sentences is not that you will come back to your written text. It’s just to increase the absorption of whatever you read. Thats the reason why we shouldn’t write more than 5 words for a sentence. It’s to retain the most possible.
While answering questions you might only revisit the notes when asked on main idea or " according to" questions. If you are imbibing sentence function as well then you can make the most of your notes and can directly revisit your notes instead of passage, but still until you mastered it, I won’t recommend that.
