Part B: Table Structure & Core Elements
Main Point: The table presents SAT performance and enrollment data for three top regional high schools.
Data Organization: The table systematically displays two key metrics (test scores and student population) for each of the three schools, allowing for easy comparison across institutions.
Step 2: Interpret the Question Precisely
What's being asked? Roosevelt Academy's total enrollment number
What type of answer do we need? A specific numerical value from the table
Any limiting keywords? "According to the table" - we need to find information directly stated, not infer anything
This is a straightforward data retrieval question asking us to locate one specific piece of information that's explicitly shown in the table.
Step 3: Prethink the Answer
- Looking at our table analysis, Roosevelt Academy appears in the second row with two pieces of data: SAT score of 1,380 and total enrollment of 1,567
- Since the question asks specifically for total enrollment, we need the second number associated with Roosevelt Academy
- The right answer should be 1,567, which is Roosevelt Academy's enrollment figure directly from the table
\(1,567\) enrolled students
✓ Correct
- 1,567 matches exactly what the table shows for Roosevelt Academy's total enrollment
\(1,380\) enrolled students
✗ Incorrect
- This is 1,380, which is Roosevelt Academy's average SAT score, not their enrollment
\(2,845\) enrolled students
✗ Incorrect
- This is 2,845, which is Lincoln High's total enrollment
\(3,102\) enrolled students
✗ Incorrect
- This is 3,102, which is Jefferson Prep's total enrollment
