Question regarding practicing from non GMAT Material for RC

[gmatwork]

Hi,

I have two questions:

a) I went through the guidelines ( discussed in Foundations of Verbal) for improving reading through practicing from non GMAT reading material. I have started reading articles from the Harvard Magazine but I wonder if I am also supposed to take notes while reading from non GMAT sources.

b) I went through the Strategy guide and am following the steps mentioned for taking notes for the passages. I really think that my notes taking skill is not up to par and I take too long to take notes while reading passages. Please suggest how can I improve my notes taking skill and at the same time speed up notes taking process.
