Data Interpretation in Writing

Working with Data

Some SAT questions involve charts, graphs, or data tables. You’ll need to select the sentence or phrase that best describes or interprets the data accurately.

What to Look For

  • Accuracy: Does the sentence match what the data shows?
  • Relevance: Is the information related to the topic?
  • Clarity: Does it clearly convey what the numbers mean?

Why It Matters

In the real world, clear data interpretation is vital for making arguments in presentations, reports, and emails.

Examples

  • Choosing the option that correctly describes a rise shown on a graph.

  • Avoiding exaggeration when summarizing survey results.

In a Nutshell

Describing data accurately makes your writing trustworthy and smart.
