So, I've been having some problems when approaching questions.

The first thing that I do is read the passage. Then I approach the questions.

When I approach these questions, I apparently blank out - completely ignore everything in the passage and focus mainly on my own recollection of material. I know this is bad practice, so I am needing some guidance. I've tried approaching from focusing mainly on the material given in the passage, but every time I do so I miss several questions. If I could figure out this dilemma, I could probably be scoring 13-14 on the sciences.

Should I consider answering questions before reading, mark options, then read the passage and compare my results? (Unless the question clearly stems from the passage.)
 
It sounds like you already answered your question.

If you need proof, consider completing AAMC test 10 using only one technique then AAMC test 11 using only the other technique then compare your scores and comfort level. You might be surprised that one way is more comfortable but the other gets a better score.
