Information & Ideas
Central idea, inference, command of evidence, and data interpretation questions.
What you need to know
1Command of evidence questions require matching a claim to the strongest textual support
2Inference answers must be PROVEN by the text — 'consistent with' is not enough
3Data analysis items (graphs paired with text) require reading the data, not just the passage
4Most common trap: an answer that's 'probably true' but not guaranteed by the text
