LR Strategy Poll Question Forum

To clarify, "stop after you found the answer" means that you don't always look at every answer choice, but rather stop when find one you think is correct. For example: you're fairly sure answer "C" is correct, so you move on to the next question instead of checking answers "D" and "E".

As far as stem v. stim first, there is enough disagreement among good scorers to make me think it comes down to personal preference.

As far as not reading all the answer choices, I find that to be VERY bad, especially given the way that LSAC constructs their tests (often you'll find very attractive trap answers right before very subtle correct ones).

You must read all the answer choices. The harder LR questions have at least one answer choice that seems tempting, and if you stop the moment you find it then you may be screwing yourself.

Some question types you will not need all the answer choices, but most of the time you do. It is crucially important not to get tied up in trying to interpret wrong answer choices, though. So you should take "read" to mean something rather less than "understand".
