Hi everyone.
I have my GMAT appointment on wednesday and I read through some IR strategies.
I hated this part in my practice test, because I always had trouble with the time and had a lot of questions wrong.
My Preptests showed me very low scores. I know that IR is not that important but a decent score should be achievable.
How do you keep up with the timing? Might it be a good idea to skip the Multi-Reasoning questions because those consume the highest amount of time?
As soon as I am through the IR strategies I'll post what i wrote down.

I agree timing is hard on IR. I personally skipped one long, complicated question on my actual exam. However, I wouldn't skip the Multi-Source Reasoning because there are usually 3 questions tied to one Multi-Source Reasoning - so it's worth a quarter of the IR.
Also keep in mind that within each problem, there are multiple questions - and you must get them all correct to get full credit. Get one wrong, and you get the entire question wrong.
I would advise that you just keep practicing - do a lot of IR problems. Once you have more experience with IR questions, you will figure out when you're taking too long on a problem for the actual exam.

I have made up some strategies which structure my work and make IR a routine and thus hopefully faster.
Table Analysis
Graphics Interpretation
Two-Part Analysis
Multi-Sourcing Reasoning
IR sounds easy in theory
Table Analysis
- Read headlines and further informations below the table
- Check what is compared (most times the first column)
- Read the question
Graphics Interpretation
- Take a short look at the bar chart's axes
- Read the text right to the bars, if the bar is not clear, and check for further informations
- Read the question and check the drop-down options
- Don't calculate and just use your eye. Differences should be easy to spot.
Two-Part Analysis
- Read the question information and check what options can be marked.
- Create an easy equation and solve for one variable
- Plug-In the possible numbers
Multi-Sourcing Reasoning
- Read through each tab
- Take your time to understand the link among the different tabs
- Attack the questions
