Data Insights — Table Analysis for the GMAT Exam — Luzon candidates

7% of the GMAT test plan. Sorting and interpreting multi-column tables to answer True/False or Yes/No questions under time pressure. Calibrated for Luzon-based Filipino candidates.

Behind every published pass rate is a distribution of which topics caused most of the failures. This is one of those topics. Data Insights — Table Analysis sits at roughly 7% of the Graduate Management Admission Test content distribution — Table Analysis questions present a sortable spreadsheet and ask candidates to evaluate 3–4 statements as True/False. The ability to quickly sort by the relevant column and cross-reference values is the critical skill. Most errors come from reading the wrong row after sorting. Pass rates for the GMAT are published annually by the awarding body and vary by cohort and locale. For Luzon candidates preparing for GMAT, the calibration of study to local context matters: Luzon hosts Manila, the dominant Pearson VUE NCLEX site in the Philippines, plus the largest IELTS and TOEFL cohorts. CHED-accredited nursing programs are concentrated in Metro Manila.

Pass rates for GMAT (Luzon, Philippines) are published periodically by the awarding body.

Common failure modes

These are the patterns that cause most candidates to lose marks on this topic. Recognising them in advance is half the work.

  • !Sorting by the wrong column and reading values out of context
  • !Confusing "greater than" with "greater than or equal to" in threshold statements
  • !Spending too long on one table and not finishing the section

Study tips

  • 1Read all three statements before sorting — identify which columns are needed first.
  • 2Mark the row you are reading with your finger (on paper) or cursor to avoid row-slip errors.
  • 3Practice with Official GMAT Prep table questions; aim for under 2.5 minutes per table set.
  • 4For NCLEX-RN: the Pearson VUE Manila centre is the only PH NCLEX site — book 6–8 weeks in advance, especially Q1 (post-graduation surge).
  • 5CGFNS CES is mandatory for U.S. board endorsement of Filipino nursing credentials — start the application the same week you confirm your NCLEX ATT.
  • 6For IELTS: British Council and IDP both run multiple weekly sessions in Manila. Speaking-test slots in Makati and Pasig fill first; book a Quezon City slot if you can travel.

Sample GMAT Data Insights — Table Analysis questions

These sample items mirror the format and difficulty of real GMAT questions. Practice with thousands more on the free Koydo question bank.

  1. 1

    A table shows 5 products with columns: Name, Units Sold, Unit Price, Total Revenue. After sorting by Total Revenue descending, which statement is best evaluated first?

    • AWhich product has the highest unit price?
    • BWhich product generated the most revenue?Correct
    • CHow many products have unit price above $50?
    • DWhat is the average units sold?
    Why this answer?

    When sorted by Total Revenue descending, the top row immediately answers "which product generated the most revenue." Questions about unit price or averages require re-sorting or scanning all rows and should be addressed after the revenue question.

  2. 2

    In Table Analysis, a statement reads "More than half of the listed countries have a GDP growth rate above 3%." The table has 8 countries. The statement is True if:

    • AExactly 4 countries have growth above 3%
    • BAt least 5 countries have growth above 3%Correct
    • CAt least 4 countries have growth above 3%
    • DAll 8 countries have growth above 3%
    Why this answer?

    "More than half" of 8 means strictly more than 4, i.e., 5 or more. "At least 4" (option C) includes exactly 4, which is exactly half, not more than half.
