The SAT Reading Comprehension: Basic Principles

Answers to the IM Summary Drill
Here are my IM summaries for the three paragraphs from the sample passage. Keep in mind that yours may be quite different from mine; the important thing is to get the gist right.

Paragraph #1: translators need common sense
Paragraph #2: Italian example, sense more important than words
Paragraph #3: translation equals negotiation
On the actual exam I would have used abbreviations, so actually my test booklet would have had margin notes more like the following:
Paragraph #1: trans. need com. s.
Paragraph #2: Ital. ex, sense > words
Paragraph #3: trans. = neg.
