Verbal RC Approach

Hi Guys

In an RC, do you guys tend to write key notes such as simplified sentence gists, important words (such as But, However etc) as we read on or do I need to start practicing making mental notes and answer the questions accordingly?

Please suggest the approach for both a short as well as a long passage.
I have my GRE date booked for the 20th of this month! (Ded.)

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:
