Bunuel · Answer

• Among the schools that offered both online lessons and exam prep, at least one received each satisfaction rating except “moderate.”

Schools with both online lessons and exam prep are 2 (high), 5 (low), 9 (outstanding), 10 (low), and 12 (high). Their ratings include low, high, and outstanding, and none of them is moderate. So the condition is satisfied.

Answer:  Yes

• All schools that lacked both evening classes and online lessons received ratings no higher than “high.”

Schools with no evening classes and no online lessons are 4 (outstanding), 7 (moderate), and 11 (high). Since School 4 received an outstanding rating, which is higher than high, the statement is not consistent with the table.

Answer:  No

• Among the schools with evening classes, the median student satisfaction rating is higher than the median rating among the schools without evening classes.

With evening classes = 1 (outstanding), 3 (moderate), 5 (low), 6 (high), 9 (outstanding), and 12 (high). Sorted: low, moderate, high, high, outstanding, outstanding. Median = between high and high = high.

Without evening classes = 2 (high), 4 (outstanding), 7 (moderate), 8 (low), 10 (low), and 11 (high). Sorted: low, low, moderate, high, high, outstanding. Median = between moderate and high, which is lower than high.

So the median rating among schools with evening classes is higher.

Answer:  Yes

Takeaway 
For GMAT table questions, each statement must be checked against the exact group of rows it refers to. Do not evaluate the whole table when the statement is limited to rows with specific conditions. In sortable tables, sorting a column in ascending or descending order can help isolate the relevant rows, compare categories, and avoid missing cases.

What This Question Tests 
This question tests a non-math GMAT table task, specifically the ability to filter rows by multiple conditions, evaluate categorical rankings, and determine whether a statement is fully consistent with the data.
