<p>I'm aware that it is beneficial to read the whole passage before answering the questions, but what if every single question pertaining to the passage has line references. Would it then be better to go straight to the answers?</p>
<p>I think it would be a little beneficial to read the line before the references, then the references, then the line after it. That should encompass the whole idea, and give you a better idea of the answer.</p>
<p>Underline all of the references and answer the questions when you get to them. Some may require reading one sentence further, but often times you can get by on what you have already read.</p>
