Cómo son las preguntas
A short passage plus a table or graph. The choices are sentences that describe the data, often a comparison between two groups or a trend across several years.
El error que cuesta puntos
Reporting a number without the comparison the sentence needs, or reading the wrong axis. A choice can state a true value from the table and still fail to complete the sentence.
Cómo resolverlas
Read the axis labels, units, and legend before the choices. Then find the claim the sentence is making and match it to the exact row, column, or year it needs.

Preguntas sobre Command of Evidence: Quantitative
- Do you have to calculate anything on these questions?
- Almost never. The arithmetic is light, and the work is matching a sentence to the right part of the table. If a question seems to need heavy computation, you are probably reading the wrong row or column.
- What is the most common reason a data question is missed?
- Reading only the highlighted values. The choices often turn on a comparison the table supports, so a value that looks right in isolation can describe the wrong group, the wrong year, or the wrong direction of change.
