About This Set

These 25 questions each need one reading from a chart and one calculation: a total, an average, a share of a whole, a ratio, or the change from one year to the next. When an answer goes wrong at this stage, the cause is nearly always the reading: the wrong year or column picked, the unit in the title (thousands, ₹ crore) left out, or a percentage change divided by the later value. Take about 25 minutes; 21 or more correct means you read tables, bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs and histograms accurately enough to start Practice Set 2.
