How do you prepare for IR? [#permalink] New post   12 Jul 2013, 03:15
If it weren't for the IR section, I would have been already registered to take the GMAT. I got my basics done, I score in the 80\80 percentiles but I have not even touched the IR section. I am kind of lacking motivation, in part because I am not sure if there is any guide out there that could sufficiently help me. I do have MGMAT IR Guide but it does not seem to be that useful. I would be happy with 6-7 in the IR.

Any suggestions?

Honestly, if you're scoring that high in quant and verbal you should be fine with IR without studying. Take the GMATPrep tests and see how you do in IR. Note that IR on the MGMAT tests is much harder than the real thing.

Agree with above. I've been scoring 6 on IR for GMAT Prep (without any prep...actually started looking at IR more seriously today because my exam is in <14 days), and I've never scored above a 5 on MGMAT IR sections.

This is a good question. I'm still not sure exactly how concerned we should be with the IR section. Unless I find out that one of my target schools will be taking the IR score into consideration, my plan is just to try and get through the IR section with as little mental fatigue as possible. I also agree that the MGMAT IR is super difficult and the strategy guide is not very useful.

Thanks for the input. I took MGMAT IR once and scored like 3.24 or something but I was not aware that the test was more difficult than the official one. I will take the official one without any prep and see where I stand; I'll be back :lol:

So I took the mock GMAT Prep just to test my IR...and scored an infamous 3. I do not understand why is that when I am scoring in the 700s. I know that my thoughts are a little unorganized, and I am not sure where to look at an I do not know where to look for practice problems to obtain those IR skills. Also, the time runs up quickly but I never have that type of a problem on Quant or Verbal sections.

Help is very much needed :oops:
