I firmly am convinced that reading comprehension is a skill that needs to be trained during our youth (think Elementary school onwards). Most millenials/zoomers don't read that much, and that hurts us on RC. By the time we start reading books in our free time while studying for the LSAT, it's too late, our reading comprehension skills are too underdeveloped.

It's really so annoying... Even when I consciously try to pay attention and retain everything I read, I end up making one or two mistakes per passage still + I guess the entire 4th passage because of lack of time :'(((

This comment is old so it's likely you've already tested or are in school (or didn't test at all) but... the point isn't necessarily to retain *everything*. There is a lot of filler in the passages, chief among them being examples, which aren't worth retaining. You want to understand the big picture, the author's 'why'. The passage doesn't go away when you go to the questions, you can reference it for specifics (eg. role of statement questions, you go back to the passage and re-read that section, you wouldn't answer from your memory of that statement in the passage). Hopefully you were able to practice and get better and are on your way to being a lawyer now!!

The powerscore Bible actually recommends to not notate at all.
