How to Interpret Graphs/Charts?

by kanha81 » Thu Jun 11, 2009 2:03 pm
Hey guys,

I have always maintained a strong dislike for graphs/charts and lately, I have came across 4-5 types of questions that relies heavily on interpreting graphs/charts to answer PS and DS questions. Can someone kindly suggest how can I overcome this weakness?

For example:

The graph could be between the # of employees v/s efficiency. The question could be asked fo find the ratio or predict the increased productivity if certain is given, etc.

I know I am very vague in putting details in my example above, but my main point is I am SIMPLY stumped when I see a graph/chart and don't know what to make out of it?!? :roll: :oops:

Any ideas or suggestions will be really helpful.
