Missing Information and Links
Identify the precise fact or logical link the passage would need to establish the statement.
How to prepare for the CSVT
Use 601 original passage-and-statement questions to locate relevant wording, preserve scope and qualifiers, distinguish support from contradiction, and stop assumptions filling evidence gaps.
Core concepts
Concept 1
evidence gap
Exam cue: Name the missing fact rather than relying on a vague sense of uncertainty.
Concept 2
missing comparison
Exam cue: Check whether the passage supplies an opposite before choosing Cannot say.
Concept 3
missing link
Concept 4
cannot say decision
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Filling a gap with a reasonable assumption.
Guardrail: Do not copy official questions, invent a fixed test length or weighting, replace passage evidence with outside knowledge, treat unsupported as False, infer score from difficulty or rely on returning to an earlier item.
Using Cannot say despite an explicit contradiction.
Guardrail: Do not copy official questions, invent a fixed test length or weighting, replace passage evidence with outside knowledge, treat unsupported as False, infer score from difficulty or rely on returning to an earlier item.
Memory anchors
Name the gap
State exactly what evidence is missing.
No support, no conflict
That is the core Cannot say condition.
Assumption cannot bridge
A likely link is still absent.
Search for the opposite
Use False if contrary evidence is actually present.
Silence stays silence
The passage's omission proves neither side.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
