Guide 6 CR

by carmelodessin Mon Oct 24, 2011 3:01 pm

In chapter two should I start timing myself after three weeks or should that be base on how comfortable I feel with applying the Diagram Technique?

Also, what is the time frame per question on the CR? The Official Guide states one minute and 45 seconds, but the Manhattan Guide has two minutes per question.

We recommend an average of 2m per CR question. Some will be a bit faster and some a bit slower, but we also recommend not going beyond 2m30s on any single question.

If you're not yet comfortable with the diagram technique, you may want to time yourself to push yourself a bit more to take notes faster, abbreviate more efficiently, etc - but cut yourself some slack too. It's okay that you're slower at first. As time goes on and you practice more, you'll pick up speed. :)
