An "x" indicates that a permit is required to take the invertebrate from tide pools in the specified type of place. A blank space indicates that no permit is required.

The info we can gather from the question stem is that x means a permit is required, while a blank space or   means no permission required.

1. A permit is required for removal of sea urchins from tide pools everywhere a permit is required for removal of abalones from tide pools.
 Solution : So, in whichever column abalones have a 'x', the sea urchins should also have a 'x'.   Don't take it as opposite  
  Abalones have a 'x' in 1st and 3rd column(marine life refuge and national park), and so does sea urchin     (It does not matter if sea urchins has 'x' in more columns than these two specified.)  
 Correct

2. Mussels may be removed from tide pools without a permit anywhere octopuses may be removed from tide pools without a permit.
 Solution : So, in whichever column octopuses have a ' ', the Mussels should also have a ' '.   Don't take it as opposite again.  
  Octopuses have a ' ' in 3rd column(National parks), and so does Mussels     (It does not matter if Mussels has ' ' in more columns than the required 3rd column.)  
 Correct

3. If a type of invertebrate may be removed from tide pools without a permit in a marine life refuge, it may also be removed from tide pools without a permit anywhere outside a provincial or national park.
 Solution : So, in whichever row marine life refuge has a ' ', all other parks should also have a ' '.    outside provincial or national park  would mean  all other parks .  
  marine life refuge     have a ' ' in 3rd and 4th rows(Limpets and Mussels), and so does all other parks     (It does not matter if all other parks has ' ' in more rows than the required 3rd and 4th row.)  
 Correct

Is statement 1 grammatically correct?

bb · Answer

I feel it is grammatically correct. it can be optimized but I feel it is detailed on purpose. 
Basically a permit is required to remove sea urchins from tide pools wherever one is required for the removal of abalones.

Correct in 4:35.

Definitely not easy, but maybe I can help explain how I solved.

1. This is really a verbal question. And you should start in your mind by thinking about what the sentence says after “everywhere”. Since the prior matches the former, this is correct.
2. This one is really testing, the same principle as the first question.
3. This one requires not skipping over the initial reading and noticing that it says that no permit is required outside of those Verts listed in the table. This is really the easiest question in the set. You don’t need a permit, and it tries to confuse you by getting you to look at the first column, but really whether or not it has an X or blank, doesn’t matter.

Any tips how to get better at reading such things? I got this today in the mock and even while attempting I was thinking i don't totally get it specially the fact how the first and second meant the same thing even though the language changed. And what it is asking us to do, mostly the questions I get wrong in table and graphs is due to the language.

And I understand that is the essence of it but how to get better at reading this? as otherwise it looks like a simple question.

Also, does anyone else has faced this that the majority of the questions in DI section in mocks they get are like very high level? This was my 3rd question and already 805+?

In the past with the official mocks i have also seen very hard question even if i got 2-3 wrong in a wrong, and this happen with DI only like the algorithm is not adapting or maybe the pool of questions are low. I don't understand. And i also know this for a fact that the first 2 questions weren't that tough that the test adapted to give me a 805+.

I interpreted the third statement as "removed...... outside a provincial or national park. " is a single part. But yes, I was wrong in interpreting it.
