Reading physical sciences passages

I've looked up some old threads and a lot of people say you should not actually read the physical sciences passages- do you think this is a good strategy? What if you dont realize the answer was in the passage and you waste time trying to solve it??
Thanks for your help!

I think this depends on how familiar you are with the subject... I mean a lot of biological sciences can have some pretty specific information in the passage you are not likely to know without reading. However, the physical sciences sections can typically be skimmed for diagrams and equations and then supplemented with skimming the passage and familiarity with the type of problem. I don't think it's nearly as important to read the PS passages as it is the BS ones.
