Off the Charts! Data Interpretation: Crushing Standardized Test Math for the GMAT, GRE, SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, and ACT (Paperback or Softback)

Interpreting Data from Tables, Charts, and Graphs.

If you’re like most students, you dislike data interpretation questions on standardized tests. These questions combine the frustration of making sense of word problems with the extra complexity of extracting information from data visualizations.

Do you sometimes second-guess yourself?

Could you use some help figuring out why you sometimes make mistakes?

Congratulations, you’re perfectly normal. But you’re also ambitious. You want to get a great score on your test so you can go to your dream school. You're motivated and you're looking for the best possible materials to help you prepare for your exam. You have to crush the GMAT, GRE, SAT, or ACT which is standing between you and admission to your dream school. Maybe you're finishing school but still have to crush the case interviews which are standing between you and your dream job. You found the right book to help you get there.

Off the Charts! Data Interpretation is like having a best friend who happens to be really good at explaining everything you need to figure out how to get better at solving those word problems about charts and graphs. Imagine if your friend could teach you how to recognize and adapt to any curve balls the test maker tries to sneak in to make a question really difficult.

Build up your ability to interpret data that is presented visually. Each of the major standardized tests has increased its emphasis on questions which require you to consistently do three things well:

(1) Interpret the wording of the question correctly, so you know exactly what information you need to obtain from the data visualization.

(2) Interpret the data visualization correctly, so you retrieve the correct information from it.

(3) Setup the right equations so you can perform the right calculations, when applicable, on the numbers you retrieved from the data visualization.

You will learn to efficiently arrive at the right answer, every time. In this book, you will find:

(1) A set of structured-but-flexible approaches which can be combined in different ways to solve even the hardest questions.

(2) Sample questions are asked in a variety of ways to enhance your ability to work with simple and complex tables, charts, and graphs.

(3) Refresher content presented in ways which accelerate your learning and improve your retention of related facts, relationships, and formulas.

You’ll discover how to recognize, approach, and solve many types of data interpretation questions. The practice sets include a variety of:

• Subject matter: hard sciences, social sciences, business, healthcare, and more.

• Question formats: multiple choice, evaluating statements, check all that apply, fill-in-the-blank, quantity comparison.

• Question types: rates, ratios, percentages, percent change, probability, weighted averages, range, statistical measures, inequalities, and more.
