Hey guys,
Just a quick note that today I knocked off another episode of shirokuma and another reading comprehension drill from drill & drill.
The drill & drill exercises are amazing. I'm finding that I have the exact same problem with them that I had on the exam: I could get the gist of the passage - to the point that I could accurately tell you the main events in the passage. But the question had just an extra layer of nuance or subtlety so that it was just beyond me.
The nice part of the book is that in addition to the "main" question, they have a bunch of "hint" questions, that are much easier and "fill in the blank style", and I can get almost all of those. So I can still feel like I'm making progress despite not quite getting the main q&a.
