Should I read all the texts before answering Part 7?

Nov 9, 2026
Short answer

No. Give each text a one-word role, read the five stems, then read the document each stem names. Reading both texts in full first costs sixty to ninety seconds a set and often returns a second copy of the context, because the second document usually restates the situation before it changes one

No. Give each text a one-word role, read the five stems, then read the document each stem names. Reading both texts in full first costs sixty to ninety seconds a set and often returns a second copy of the context, because the second document usually restates the situation before it changes one detail.

When the clock is already short, skip the texts for the first pass and read only the stems that name a document. Two items answered from the notice in ninety seconds score better than a set read properly and left blank when time is called, and the skipped set is the one to attempt first on the next timed run.
