SAT Reading & Writing: Quantitative Evidence from Tables
38+ practice questions in Praczo
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.
- ✗ 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").
SAT-style practice
