Do you read all the explanations in UsmleRX?

It seems like reading every part of the explanations, including the FA excerpts, will take a lot of time. Is it okay to just read the FA portion and maybe some of the main explanations and skipping the parts for each answer choice? I'm mostly doing the qbank to get a first good pass of FA and not so much testing skills.

I'm currently studying...yeah, reading the entire excerpt and all answer choices would take me a lifetime. I read what they provide until i ensure i've understood the answer choice. If there are other answer choices that I am disfamiliar with, I'll pick one or maximum 2, and quickly gain a few new facts.

Sometimes they insert an entire page from FA. I resist the urge to get hung up on it and memorize the tiniest of details while doing Rx. Otherwise I fear I won't be able to rip through Q banks.

Will doing each Rx question and only understanding the right answer, while only reading the main explanation paragraph and ignoring the FA excerpt, still count as a first pass of FA?

not sure, but I doubt it.
