Most of our teachers say that never look at the options and answers before reading the question
Now in some cases the question is a very lengthy description of a case and the last statement is a simple question that you need to find it's answer in the options
for example child came with fever, rash, ....etc after a very long case then the last statement is what are criteria to diagnose kawasaki disease?
so why wasting our time reading that long case, just see the options first you'll have an idea what's the question, look for it in the stem and bingo
Time is precious in USMLE right!!
