Observed public sample mix
Select a measure to inspect its reviewed sample denominator.
Counts are inspected sample occurrences, not a unique question-bank census or estimated exam probability. Quantitative and Verbal shares use their own classified denominators. Analytical Writing has no observed prompt corpus in this release. Zero means no classified occurrence in this small selection, not an unimportant or untested skill.

Sources, method and limits
Each reviewed sample occurrence has one analyst-assigned primary teaching-skill classification. Response type is a separate axis; Data Interpretation is a shared-data context, not a fifth exclusive Quantitative response type. Unresolved classifications stay outside classified shares. We reproduce no official questions, passages, writing prompts or explanations. All linked teaching and practice is original. This independent resource is not affiliated with or endorsed by ETS.
