I know there has been various threads on this. I was just curious to see what are peoples thoughts on their success with either not reading the reading comprehension questions beforehand or not.

The only thing I do that might kinda approach this would be in the CR passages, I do work through the questions after reading Passage A. So as I read Passage B, I've read the questions, but normally the nature of CR questions doesn't really lend itself to this being particularly useful.
First off, you're probably going to forget the questions by the time you reach them. With LR it's easy to do - you're presented with a single question for a single 3-7 line stimulus.
Second, the questions on RC are incredibly repetitive. You probably already know half of them before ever reading them.
Third, refer back to the first point...you're likely going to end up rereading them. So, why waste a minute doing so the first time?
Fourth, and most important, you'll start "looking for answers" instead of reading for reasoning structure.
