You read the question then search the passage for the answer. This is my method 90% of the time. For tone and inference, you have to read slightly more of it.
You have to read more of the passage than just finding the answer. Probably the paragraph that relates to the subject the question is asking.
I haven't taken the real thing, yet, and I'm not using crack the DAT.
I don't think it's a risk. You have possible answer choices, so you have an idea of what to look for. You find the section that talks about the question, and you select the corresponding answer. This works for me, because I'm a slow reader. It makes my reading comprehension high, but I end up running out of time. But, as always ymmv.
I only took three practice tests, one from CDR, one from Qvault, and one from Bootcamp. I think Bootcamp was most representative, while CDR and Qvault were more difficult. However, on the DAT passages, I was already familiar with two of the three topics so it made reading easier than anticipated.
