Why Is Data Sufficiency On The Exam?

[Page 3 of 24]

Test-takers often wonder why Data Sufficiency is on the Exam in the first place. There is a reason — Data Sufficiency is meant to test certain skills generally considered necessary for success in business, including:

  • The ability to process and connect separate pieces of information
  • The ability to determine when you have enough information to make a sound decision

To put it in context, successful business executives need to know whether they have enough information to justify taking a particular course of action, so the Exam needs to test whether you have this ability. Data Sufficiency is simply the Exam’s way of doing so.

Because Data Sufficiency is about making decisions, remember that your ability to evaluate information is always more important than your ability to calculate.
