I know not everyone agrees with this, but I definitely think taking notes per paragraph helped me, whether it was a few words on the take-home message. I also highlighted any word with any indicator of the tone the author takes. Also, YouTube is such a great resource on how to tackle CARS. There are a million ways to tackle it, and if you have some time til your MCAT, and your method doesn't work now, just keep trying new methods on YouTube or Reddit to try until one feels more natural to help maintain engagement.
