How should I handle rates, ratios and raw numbers in Critical Reasoning questions?
Numbers in Critical Reasoning questions should always raise a red flag in your mind. Generally all faults in the reasoning of the stimulus and in incorrect answer choices stem from a miscorrelation of the given numbers. Also, remember that percentages and values are not the same thing. For example, if one investor is said to have earned $50 in interest and another is said to have earned 50% in interest, you don’t know who made more money because you don’t know how much each investor started with.
