If you had read other parts of this thread you would have found that we don't actually read a lot of the questions, For your benefit here is the method I use, raver may do something different. Q's get repeated so by remembering a couple of the answers and which is correct you don't have to read that much. e.g. there was a question a while back whose answers were stuff to do with london, you had to chose the odd one out. the answers were

london bus
postbox
cab
(one other I forget but it was red).

now the Q was quite long but when it was repeated, I read only the answers and saw london bus, london cab, I knew the answer is cab. I only needed to read two answers in this example. I am also a very fast scan reader(I subconciously use word shape recognition where I don't actually vocalise words)its is quite easy to answer this question in 1/2 a second. get 5 or 6 repeat Qs and you are at 17 seconds to answer 4 that you haven't seen before. 4 seconds is easily achieveable for this. The other great time consumer is scrolling down the page, I use a big screen at work which I rotate to portrait, by shrinking screen font I can get the whole page displayed in one go so I don't waste any time not actually answering Qs

give it a go, you may improve your time
