Hi!
According to MGMAT CR, you should read first the question stem. However, the CR Bible suggests that you should read first the stimulus and then the question stem.
What do you think? Which approach is better?
Thanks!

Hi,
Initally i used to read Question stem first and read the argument. knowing question stem first always influenced my thoughts while reading the premise and argument and often i used to skip some points which are critical to get the correct answers.
So, in my case, now i read argument first with empty mind, after reading argument, take a pause and analyze and paraphrase it in my mind, and then read the Question stem.
It helped me a lot !!!!

I think like you. (Notice I don't say "I think like you DO" LOL!).
I think that even it is more confusing when the question stem gives you additional information about the argument. In that sense, reading the argument first is better.
