Value vs Yes/No Recognition
GMAT glossary · Data Insights
Definition
Classify whether a DS stem wants one number or a consistent Yes/No.
Value vs Yes/No Recognition in plain English
Before deep DS work, decide Value vs Yes/No. Value needs exactly one number. Yes/No is answered when every legal case under a statement yields the same Yes or the same No. Treating a Yes/No stem like a Value stem rejects sufficient statements that only pin the verdict.
