Bar Chart Test — Questions and Answers

A timed bar-chart set. Bar DI is usually the fastest of the four chart types because values are read directly, so the examiner compensates with multi-series charts and percentage-comparison questions. Check the axis scale before the first question and keep a running note of any totals you compute.

Bar Chart Test — Frequently Asked Questions

Why do bar-chart sets often feel easier?+

Because values are read directly rather than derived. Examiners compensate by asking comparison and percentage questions across several series, so the arithmetic rather than the reading is the real work.

What should I note down while reading a bar chart?+

The units, and any row or column total you compute. Recomputing the same total for three separate questions is the commonest waste of time in a DI set.
