Do you read all answer choices always?

I don't. I stop once I find the right answer. I am wondering if those that score real high in the sample tests read all choices? Especially in the BS section.

always, you wan't to eliminate every answers. for example, It's not A because not supported in passages, oh it's B, not C cause it said opposite, not D because it didn't say that. This helps you double check that you're original choice is the right one.

yup. Always.
Sometimes you'll get an easy question with an easy answer, but what if you don't read choices 3 and 4 and you miss a seemingly easy question that turns out to be tricky?

If I'm running really short on time, I may not read all answer choices and just pick the first one that seems correct. But I've noticed it's easy to make really stupid mistakes this way. Ideally, I read all answer choices.. always.

Always read the answer choices!!! You should probably not do that if you're running out of time...

always

They put all those answer choices on there for a reason!

Many times I can remember where I would quickly look at a question and pick an answer and then read a little closer and realize another answer was a little better.

That's one way the MCAT will get you!

Yes, that was exactly what was happening to me on aamc practice tests.
