How many do this? Also, do you all make it a point to answer the first question of each game if you are about to run out of time?(since its a sure 4 points)

What these 2 said. Also, lol at taking the LSAT if you're not prepared to finish each section...

edit: unless you're studying, in which case no...You should not do this.

Absolutely not. It won't help you. If, on the other hand, you work through the entire setup before you start on the questions, and make all the deductions and stuff, then the questions will be a breeze. Nothing beats a question asking about a deduction you've already made.

Do not do this. Do not consider it again.

I meant read each stimulus and start from easiest to hardest and if in any case I run out of time (if I freeze due to nerves) should I move on and do the first question of the next stimulus since it is a 100% point.

I did questions in order because I did not want to accidentally skip one.

However, I have heard of this strategy. So, questions are general, specific, or substitute a rule.

Specific questions lock up some part of a set-up that is not a rule, while general/substitute ones do not.

For June 2007, Question 1 is specific, while Question 2 is general. Some people do all the specific ones first because the diagraming can help you with the general/substitute questions. You can download this LSAT from the LSAC.org website.
