Tips for misreading during MSS questions?

linktolaw

I hope I'm not the only one who has had this issue. I just started my LSAT journey and I find that, often, when I get an MSS question wrong it is because I misread one or two words in an answer choice and therefore misinterpreted that answer choice.

Does anyone have any tips to avoid this in MSS questions and in the future on the LSAT? Slowing down and reading carefully seems like an obvious solution, except we are timed and I don't want to waste time triple-checking myself either.

something I got from logic games - under line key words like "must" or "must not."

the last three rules on test 80 game 2, were "cannot" "cannot" then the final rule was "must" instead of cannot. So I just got lazy and assumed it was cannot.

maybe someone else has more insightful tips on this topic...
