In a higher position than something else; earlier in a document or list.

In tables and charts, 'above' can refer either to physical position, such as a floor or shelf, or to information mentioned earlier in the text, such as 'as stated above.' Part 2 questions sometimes test whether you can correctly locate the row or section referred to, so check both meanings depending on context.
Synonyms: higher than, over, preceding
