So, I am pretty good at SC and CR but really crap at RC. How can I actually become good at RC? I have no clue where to start. Native speaker here if that changes anything.

Just start actively reading dense literature and stop every paragraph or so to summarize a) the author’s intended meaning, b) the author’s viewpoint, and c) how this supports the authors main argument.

I read the economist weekly to actively prepare for RC since their articles tend to have a viewpoint on each piece of news and are fairly well written

Super useful! Thank you 😊

By good, I mean I’m 80%tile+ and I haven’t done any practice for it and by crap, I mean I’m 14%tile although this might be because I couldn’t be bothered to read the passage 😂

Tired of my pharmacy. Every single month I have to call the pharmacy for my Adderall, they say they don’t have any prescriptions for me, they ask for additional information, they magically find it, and then I have to wait like 1 to 8 hours to have it filled. It’s a pointless phone call. Why do I have to repeat these shenanigans every month?! Is it just Rite Aid? Is CVS any better? So irritating.

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?
