图表型类题型不仅要求考生读懂文章，还要求考生能够用自己的语言简要地回答有关问题；既考查考生的阅读理解能力，也考查考生的英语表达能力和概括能力。
另外，对考生的拼写能力、语法掌握能力也提出了一定的要求，再加上解答这样的题型几乎没有猜题的技巧可言，加大了做题的难度。要想取得较好的成绩，好的解题步骤和技巧是非常重要的。
本题型答题应注意以下五点：
一、在答题前，先快速浏览短文之后的问题。以便于在阅读的时候，有意识地留意文中出现的与问题有关的信息。
二、认真细读全文及所给图表，了解短文及图表中的细节内容，包括人物、时间、地点、内容、原因、数量、结果及图片各个要素之间的关系等，即who, when, where, what, why, how many，how等基本要素信息，并作出不同的标记，以备答题时一目了然，提高答题速度和效率。
三、仔细阅读问题，在理解题意的基础上，从文中或图片中提取所需要的信息进行逐一回答，此时一定要注意图片之间的内在联系，读懂图片以后，再认真组织语言，注意书写的清晰度与准确性，注意语言表达的逻辑性和严密性。
四、对于具有归纳与总结性的问题，需要对所给图文中的信息材料进行甄别与筛选，综合相关信息进行必要的转换、归纳和概括。
五、对于开放性试题，考生一定要读懂题意，搞清楚问什么，有几个问题，防止遗漏。此类试题一般都和文章的话题相关，对于考生来说并不陌生。重要的是要注意回答问题的人称和时态等。比如问过去的事情用一般过去时，表达自己或他人对某事的观点用一般现在时；人称上尤其要注意第三人称单数形式。
