Reading Questions

LSATShinobi

Hey guys I just started started studying for the LSAT and I've watched some 7Sage videos for LR and I've noticed that J.Y usually reads the question before the stimulus and I was just wondering whether or not if that was recommended for test takers or if that is just a technique he uses for the videos. Thank you.

Yeah, read the question STEM (not answer choices) before the stimulus

Totes recommend it, as do others such as Mike Kim of the LSAT Trainer.

I would also recommend that you read the stem first. It's a good habit to get into as long as you spend an appropriate amount of time on the stimulus analyzing and diagnosing it, because that's really what's most important to LR success.

Good luck!

I always read the stem first helps me focus on what exactly I should be doing!

Yep. Always read the stem first and mentally note what you're going to have to do as you move forward to the stimulus.
