What the SAT Actually Tests

These questions pair a short passage with a table or graph and ask which data point correctly completes the passage's argument. Every answer choice cites real numbers — but usually only one both reads the graphic accurately AND serves the passage's specific claim.

Work in two passes: first eliminate choices that misread the graphic (wrong row, wrong year, wrong magnitude — check each number against the table), then among accurate readings, pick the one that completes the argument's logic. The passage's final sentence before the blank tells you exactly what the data needs to show.

Command of Evidence (Quantitative)questions are built around charts and tables, so they're best practiced in the app where the graphics render interactively. Start free to try all 23 of them.

Traps to Avoid

  • Verifying that a choice's numbers appear in the table without checking they're from the right category or year.
  • Choosing accurate data that doesn't actually bear on the claim being completed.
  • Misreading units or scale (thousands vs. millions, percent vs. count).
