Interpreting Information from Tables and Graphs

The Decision Making subtest includes questions that require you to extract, compare, and reason about data presented in tables and graphs. Unlike the Quantitative Reasoning subtest (which tests calculation skills), DM data interpretation focuses on logical conclusions — what the data supports, what it does not, and what inferences are valid.

What to Expect

Data interpretation questions in DM typically present:

• A table of numerical or categorical data
• A bar chart, line graph, or occasionally a pie chart
• A combination of text and data

You are then asked to evaluate one or more statements about the data. These may be in standard MCQ format (pick one correct answer from four) or Yes/No format (decide if each of several statements follows from the data).
