What you need to know

The concept, explained

  • 1

    Questions asking you to complete a text using data from a table require pinpoint accuracy.

  • 2

    Locate the exact row/column the text is discussing before reviewing the answers.

  • 3

    Check the units! The text might ask for a percentage, while the table shows raw numbers, or the text might talk about thousands of dollars while the table says "Values in $1000s".

  • 4

    The correct option must be factually supported by the table AND logically follow the sentence's previous claim.

Common mistakes
  • Picking a choice that contains true data from the table but doesn't fit the grammatical or logical flow of the sentence.
  • Confusing rows/columns with similar labels (e.g., reading "2018 Expected" instead of "2018 Actual").
