Hey Kyle —
My best guess, per what you wrote, is that you read the stimulus first — just so you know, in my instructional products, I recommend students read the q stem first — having said that, of course, I understand that tons of students get top scores reading stimulus first, and you are obviously having a lot of success with that, so I’m happy to give my thoughts and try to help —
But in order to do so better — let me ask you first — what are the benefits, exactly, that you want to gain with the sticky note method? I could think of a few, but again, I think hearing your intentions will help me give more useful thoughts — MK
