Default Verbal question?????


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
1) do you guys think it's smart to skim the question before reading the passage?
2) you think it's smart to write small notes down on a piece of paper while reading
( are we even allowed a peice of paper during the exam?)

I'm only 3 days in to SN2ed schedule so take my advice with a grain of salt.

For some reason i feel like if i skim through the questions i will not be able to finish the passage in under 7 minutes. Also, when i am slowly reading the beginning of TBR verbal section and they only suggest reading the question for a few types. Anyways maybe its just me being paranoid, but its worth a try to see how it works for you.

I don't read the questions before, but my reading comprehension is pretty good so I don't find it too helpful. If you skim the questions before, you might find yourself just reading to find the answers and will miss out on the general theme and tone, which is very important for choosing the correct answers.
