I really think a lot of you are getting too caught up in your “strategies.” The order in which you work is completely irrelevant. Find the method that works best for you. I, personally, read the passages first and then answer the questions. It’s not a strategy, it’s what works best for me. Obviously, this same tactic won’t work for someone else, but that’s of no concern to me.

I can, however, offer some advice. Don’t think of the CR section as something you have to “beat.” If you can read and understand the passages in a short amount of time, there’s no strategy necessary. If you think your reading speed isn’t as high as you’d like it to be, there are a number of websites that can help you get faster. [Here](http://www.wikihow.com/Learn-Speed-Reading)'s one to get you started.
