Write down Low Res summaries or mental note them?

I'm going through the RC curriculum and keep reading Kevin's suggestion to try to do the low res summaries mentally due to time. Timing in RC is 100 % an issue for me. Personally, writing down the summaries has increased my RC score but I am still short on time. I just find if I don't write it down I get panicky & get lost. I find it way harder to retain without writing it down. With that being said, if its really worth trying to do it mentally, I'll try but not sure its best for me. I comprehend things best when I write them down I think. What does everyone else do? What are your reasonings behind it?

    I totally get getting panicky too, and I also have timing problems in RC. If writing low res summaries down works for you, I would do that. Just keep practicing so maybe you can wean off of it or your summaries can get shorter over time. Maybe you eventually won't need to write and can keep track in your head. You aren't alone on timing tho LOL
