Question 2

Which finger or marker technique best reduces errors on Table Reading?

Using one finger on the column and tracking down to the row line

Physically tracking the column down to the row keeps your eyes aligned to the correct cell.

Question 3

If two answer choices are identical numbers, what should you conclude?

Accepted Answer

At least one is a distractor and you must verify the exact cell

Duplicate-looking values are typical distractors, so confirm by reading the precise intersection.
