the graph
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.
