Key strategies
01
Study the diagram/visual thoroughly first
Spend 60-90 seconds understanding the visual before reading the email. Note key data points, categories, and relationships.
02
Cross-reference constantly
Many blanks require information from the diagram. When filling a blank in the email, check the diagram for the specific detail being referenced.
03
Pay attention to exact details in the visual
Times, dates, locations, prices, and quantities are all precise data in diagrams. Misreading "2:30" as "3:30" will cost you a question.
04
For comprehension questions, check both sources
Some answers come from the diagram alone, some from the email alone, and some require combining both. Don't assume one source has all the answers.
