What you'll learn
Structure over Speed: A 3-minute passage map saves time during questions. Targeted retrieval consistently outperforms rushed skimming and re-reading.
Minimal Notation: Use symbols and single keywords instead of full sentences. This constraint forces analytical compression, just like the experts.
Inference & Retrieval: Maps locate implied stances or paragraph pivots, turning recall into lookup. Reading between the lines then yields the answer.
Systems Compound: A reusable annotation template becomes automatic under timed conditions, transferring directly to any text-heavy reading task.
