Hi All, There are a lot resources for chart reading.However, I am looking for some sources with data tables especially the ones with quite dense information so you need to connect multiple dots to draw insights. Is there anything out there?
Hi there,
Best Rote Practice
Rocket Blocks (Preplounge has resources too)
Best Practice Strategy
1) Read the Economist (especially the daily graph section) and BCG Insights
2) Ask case partners and/or coaches to focus particularly on your chart-reading skills (i.e. by providing you with cases with many charts) - Bain and Deloitte cases tend to be chart heavy
Graph Interpretation Tips
1) Read the title - and understand it
2) Read the legends - and understand them
3) Remind yourself of the objective / hypothesis in the case, to see where this might fit
4) Find the differences - where does the line graph plummet or spike? Which column is a lot smaller or bigger than the others? Where does change occur? The differences are what matter
5) Talk outloud while interpreting - first, it helps you think and process your thoughts, second, it lets the interviewer provide guidance and course correct if needed.
Hi there,
Rocketblocks is quite good. Worth checking out.
Best,
Cristian
Hey -

There is a prep lounge exercise above. Rocket blocks and case coach are also good. I would also use some of the MBA case books and focus on chart reading from there.
Hello!
The integrated reasoning part of GMAT exams.
However, dense tables are indeed pretty rare, I would rather focus on graphs, they are more common.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
Clara
