6 Underrated GRE Data Interpretation Tips
Most GRE videos repeat the same Data Interpretation advice. This one focuses on the tips you rarely hear. In this video, Erika Tyler-John, expert GRE instructor with a 339 score, 10+ years of experience, and 4M+ YouTube views, shares six underrated GRE Data Interpretation strategies that help you read data more clearly, avoid traps, and solve DI questions with less stress. These insights fill the gaps left by most GRE tutorials and support your Quant preparation inside the Target Test Prep course.
You’ll learn why DI should be saved for the end of your prep, since it’s built on core GRE Quant foundations—statistics, ratios, proportions, and percents. Once those fundamentals are strong, charts and tables become far easier to handle. Erika also explains how to learn just the essential basics of intimidating concepts like standard deviation, quartiles, and box-and-whisker plots, and why a small amount of targeted study goes a long way.
We’ll cover how to approach DI data sets the same way you process multi-question Reading Comprehension passages, helping you understand structure before solving. You’ll also see the most common percent and ratio traps that appear in DI, how to read stems piece by piece, and a simple habit that prevents your eyes from drifting on charts so you stay focused on the right information.
What you’ll learn:
How to build DI skills after your Quant basics are solid
How to read DI charts and tables with an RC-style approach
How to avoid percent and ratio traps
How to process question stems without missing details
How to stay focused on data sets with your cursor
These tips are especially helpful if you’re aiming for a 165+ Quant score or a 330+ overall GRE score. They pair perfectly with GRE practice tests, math drills, and targeted review inside TTP.
