taxwoman,

Yes I start by reading the question. However as I mentioned I think I over verify things too much. Last night I went thru some ramdomly choosen mcq's from F1-F5 Becker and I had low 70's results. I was not re-reading but reading just carfully and marking the answer without re-checking. (better timing).

Botton line is I must stop thinking that a "hidden trick word" will blow off my answer and build some confidence without re-calc, re-reading and re-checking before choosing an answer. Otherwise I will have to re-take FAR due to runing out of time in the real exam :(
