Table Analysis questions present a table similar to a spreadsheet. It can be sorted on any of its columns
by selecting the column's title from a drop-down menu. There may be a brief text explaining the table
or providing additional information. The question then presents three phrases, statements, numerical
values, or algebraic expressions, and you must indicate for each one whether or not it meets a certain
condition. For example, you may be asked whether
- each statement is true (yes or no), according to the information in the table
- each statement or numerical value is consistent or inconsistent with the information in the table
- each statement or numerical value can or cannot be determined on the basis of the information in the table
Read the question thoroughly to make sure you understand what is being asked. Then consider each
phrase, statement, numerical value, or algebraic expression to learn what information in the table you
need to make your decision. For example, in analyzing the table, you may need to,
- determine statistics such as mean, median, mode, or range
- determine ratios, proportions, or probabilities
- identify correlations between two sets of data
- compare an entry's rank in two or more of the table's categories
You will have 30 minutes to complete the Integrated Reasoning section, or an average of 2 minutes and
30 seconds to answer each question. Keep in mind that each Table Analysis question has three parts
that all need to be answered in the time allowed.
