Do the arithmetic fast and out loud, read any chart in one sentence, avoid the traps exhibits are built to set, and turn a data pack into a headline a partner would sign.

  1. 1Mental math that holds up under pressureA few tricks cover most case arithmetic: flip percents, divide by multiplying, and count zeros separately from digits.8 min
  2. 2Percents, points, and growthProMost case math slips come from three mixups: percent versus points, adding percents that should multiply, and averaging percents with different bases.8 min
  3. 3Reading chart types fastProEach chart type is built to show one kind of comparison. Knowing which one tells you where to look first.8 min

  1. 4Weighted averages and mix in exhibitsProWhen an exhibit gives rates for groups of different sizes, the overall rate is a weighted average. The simple average of the rates is almost always wrong.8 min
  2. 5Written cases: from a data pack to slidesProSome final rounds hand you a packet of exhibits and an hour to produce a few slides. The test is triage: find the three exhibits that answer the question and ignore the rest.10 min
  3. 6Exhibit traps: axes, bases, and totalsProInterview exhibits are often built with a trap: a truncated axis, a total that hides a per person figure, or groups that reverse when combined. Check for each before concluding.9 min
