What Problem-Solving and Data Analysis tests
This domain is mostly arithmetic dressed in context, which is exactly what makes it dangerous: the computation is easy enough that mistakes come from the setup, not the maths. Percent of versus percent more, the base a percentage is taken from, whether a median or a mean is being asked for, whether a sample supports the conclusion drawn — these are reading decisions made before any calculation begins. The seven skills below correspond to distinct reading decisions, not distinct formulas.
