SAT Test Comparison Type Questions

The comparison type questions on the SAT Test require you to identify the relationship between two columns of data. The data can be a graph, geometric shape, or algebraic equation. You will be required to solve both columns and compare the data. Sometimes the information will be a format such that no comparison is possible on the SAT test. In this case the correct answer would be (D). There is no penalty for guessing so take a guess even if you have no idea about the problem.

1. The quantity in Column A is greater.
2. The quantity in Column B is greater.
3. The two quantities are equal.
4. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
