Interpreting Data Accurately

Getting the Details Right

Accuracy is just as important as speed in the IR section. Carefully read data labels, units, and legends to ensure your answers are based on correct information.

  • Double-check the axes and units on graphs
  • Verify that you’re using the correct column or tab in tables
  • Pay attention to footnotes or exceptions in the data

Examples

  • Catching that a graph uses thousands instead of millions as the unit.

  • Spotting a footnote in a data table that changes the interpretation of the results.
