Members don't see this ad.

considering the claims of longer question stems (dont knnow how true that is), I feel that it would especially disadvantage the slow readers among us.
well...I am just below average or average at best.

if any of you guys tried methods to improve the speed of your reading, I would appreciate if you could share your knowledge.

on the long stem questions, read the last line to know what they are asking to avoid having to read the question twice

Yup. Read the last line, take a glimpse at the choices then read the stem. Sometimes I find that when I do this, the second to last line gives away the biggest hint. So now I even give the second to last line a quick glance after reading the last sentence and before I start reading the whole stem.

good advice guys, I will keep that in mind while doing Uworld questions...

I'll go with what the previous posts have mentioned.

Additionally, fabled Taus method says you should have the answer in your head before you arrive to reading the options.Apparently this will lessen distraction and wandering thus saving time.
