Strategies and Fundamentals
Summary
The inclusion of graphs in the reading comprehension section of the SAT, particularly within science and social science passages, introduces a new dimension to test-taking strategies.
- Graphs can appear in up to two of the five reading passages, with a focus on science and social science topics.
- Each graph-related passage will contain one graph, with two to four questions pertaining to it.
- The questions related to graphs are designed to be straightforward, requiring test-takers to interpret the graph accurately rather than trick them.
- Understanding the graph involves analyzing both the y-axis and x-axis, and then directly applying this understanding to the questions.
- It's possible to answer graph questions without referring to the passage text, which can be a strategic time-saving approach.
