I heard somewhere that the IR is deliberately designed so that it can't be completed in the allotted time. Is this true?
Has anyone actually completed the entire section? If so, how? What's the best strategy?

Hi JIVINJIVES,
The IR section is difficult for many Test Takers to complete on time, but doing so is not impossible. The work involved in many IR questions is rather similar to the work that is involved in CR questions - just with LOTS more information to read and 'process.' Thus, it helps to be a strong note-taker and pattern matcher. There are also likely to be a couple of questions that involve "math" and or "statistical" work, so being able to organize and properly complete that work on the pad will also help with the pacing. Test Takers who have the biggest problems getting through the IR section are those who try to do the work 'in their heads', which you shouldn't be doing on any question in any section anyway.

It's very unlikely that a good test would deliberately include an entire section like that. Maybe people just prep harder for the other sections?
