The Data Representation sections contain very little actual writing. So, before you slog through the charts, read the questions first. In many cases, you'll be able to answer the questions by just looking at one chart exclusively. Analyze the relationships between the charts and graphs, and note any items that look unusual. These will often be the object of a question. • Mark up the text. Physically underline, cross-out, and circle things that stand out to you as you read. Some of the text is going to be pretty heavy, so you'll want to dissect it as you go to make the most sense of it. • Paraphrase the questions. Before you read the answers, put those questions into words you would use if you can't understand what they're asking. • Cover the answers. Keep your hand over the answers while you read the question. Then, make a wild stab at answering before you uncover your choices. You may just find a paraphrase of your own answer in one of the choices, and odds are, it's the right choice. Look for and identify patterns and trends. - Correct Answer️️ -...
