Core concepts
Concept 1
Information can be distributed across text, charts, tables and diagrams.
Exam cue: Translate the evidence into short factual statements before evaluating conclusions.
Concept 2
Each conclusion must be tested independently against the supplied evidence.
Exam cue: Check units, bases, time periods and comparison groups.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Using visual prominence as evidence of numerical importance.
Guardrail: Do not use obsolete Abstract Reasoning material or convert practice accuracy into an invented official scaled score or SJT band.
Allowing one true statement to influence judgement of another.
Guardrail: Do not use obsolete Abstract Reasoning material or convert practice accuracy into an invented official scaled score or SJT band.

Independent Statements

No Plausibility Vote
A believable conclusion still needs supplied support.
Cross-Format

Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
