<p>I agree with Peugeot. While I have often heard of the technique of reading the questions first, I think it is important to at <em>least</em> peruse the passage before going to the questions. Particularly, don't look at the answer choices beforehand, because this oculd cause you to look for those choices in the passage, and taint what would have been your gut response to the passage's meaning. Unless you're really weak at reading critically, what you glean from the passage initially will generally be right.</p>
