The key: go back to the data every time. Don't rely on what sounds reasonable. Wrong answers often cite accurate numbers but draw conclusions the data doesn't actually support.
Pro Tip: Focus on what the numbers directly show. Watch for answer choices that misread scale, confuse totals with rates, or generalize beyond the data's scope.
