Command of Evidence: Quantitative
Last updated October 26, 2026
A table or graph comes with a short text, and the question asks what the data shows. It belongs to the Information and Ideas domain of the Digital SAT Reading and Writing section.
How to approach Command of Evidence: Quantitative questions
- Tell an EASY data question from a TRUE one. The easy ones need only the last piece of the text; even an elementary school student could do them.
- THE TEXT ESTABLISHES THE INTERPRETATION of the data.
- Only in an extreme situation, eliminate the choices that do not correspond to the data. Then read the text's focus off the choices that remain: the data alone will not separate the last two.
The habit that ruins students on this type
Students answer from the graph alone, when it is the text that decides what the data means.
