Understanding Inference Questions
Inference questions on the Digital SAT fall under the "Information and Ideas" category in the Reading section. You can expect to encounter them between questions 5-16 in Module 1, and even more frequently if you receive a harder version of Module 2.
Key Concept: The Inference Equation
Think of inferences like a simple equation:
Text (Idea 1) + Question (Idea 2) = Logical Conclusion (Idea 3)
Just like 1 + 1 = 2, the correct inference should follow clearly from combining the relevant ideas in the passage with the question asked.
Strategies for Solving Inference Questions
- Read carefully and break down the information into distinct ideas.
- Focus on what you can logically conclude from the passage alone.
- Eliminate answer choices that are not directly supported by the text.
- If stuck between two answers, refer back to the passage for concrete evidence.
- Watch out for inferences that are too broad or extreme.
- Make an educated guess and move on if needed to manage time effectively.
Applying the Strategies: Examples
Example 1: Simple Inference
Given information: Omar made the highest test score in his class.
Inference question: What can we infer about Omar's class?
Valid inference: The class made lower scores than Omar.
Note: We cannot assume anything about Omar's study habits or the class's overall performance.
Example 2: Complex Inference
Sample Passage: [Passage about metabolic cost of cold acclimatization]
Inference Question: Which of the following logically concludes the passage?
Correct Answer: There are relatively few species with adaptations necessary to tolerate the temperatures at high elevations.
This answer combines ideas about metabolic cost, temperatures decreasing with altitude, and fewer species evolving adaptations.
