Help verify my data sufficiency strategy...

(a CORRECTION was made to this post 9/24/08 4:43 PM EST)

Here is the approach I'm using to narrow down the answer choices. While there are strategies for question types I am not covering that here.

My strategy
Step 1. Is Statement 1 sufficient? Come up with YES or NO.
Step 2. Is Statement 2 sufficient? Come up with YES or NO.
Optional Step 3. If result was NO,NO, ask a third question: Together are the statements sufficient?

So depending on the answers above the Yes / No questions I come up with an answer. Here is a visual that better explains it than my ranting.

:?: Is there anything fundamentally wrong with using this strategy that anyone can think of. It seems to work for me especially since I have to end up analyzing both questions anyway.

There is another strategy out in the market - which is easier to follow ( it is similar to yours, just helps in POE)

Its the AD/BCE policy

Here is how it works

a) Is St 1 sufficient. YES ( Answer is A or D ) . No ( Answer is BCE)
b) Is S1 2 sufficient. YES ( Answer is D. Click on bubble. Click on next and move on). NO. ( Answer is C/E)

c) Is 1 and 2 suff. YES ( answer is C). No. Answer is E
