Do the two variables overlapping

Question 3

How should you approach a question of interpreting information with lots of text

Answer 3

Like verbal reasoning
Read statement first and reference back to the STEM

Question 4

How should you approach a question of interpreting data with graphs or charts

Answer 4

Eyeballing data-
Skim read data by reading headings of the table or the x and y axis before reading the question so you understand what its telling you.
Only look at the numbers when you’ve read the question

Always identify subject and cause

What should you begin by doing in the Venn diagram questions

Answer 8

Read the question and answer options before looking at the Venn diagram as it can be complicated

Question 9
