Command of Evidence (Quantitative) on the Digital SATWhat it tests, how to approach it, and where students get trapped

Using data from tables and graphs to complete or support a passage's argument — reading the graphic precisely is the whole game.

The counts describe the full Grind1600 bank. The Free plan unlocks the first 5 questions in each parent domain; the live question-bank API and attempt routes enforce that boundary.

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.

The available Command of Evidence (Quantitative) samples use graphics that are best rendered in the authenticated question bank. Open Information and Ideas practice to use the questions allowed by your current tier. The Free plan remains limited to the first 5 questions in this parent domain.

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).

Command of Evidence (Textual)

Choosing the quotation or finding that most directly supports, illustrates, or weakens a stated claim or hypothesis.

Inferences

Selecting the statement that most logically completes a passage's reasoning — strictly bounded by what the text actually establishes.
