Good question about DI. Sorry to hear about going a long haul. Are you planning to take the GMAT in more than six months? The traditional GMAT will be available through early next year, whatever that means but the list for the next six months… and if you’re not planning to wait longer, you don’t need to worry about data insights.

I agree with you in terms of attention that integrated reasoning received from students and prep companies. It hasn’t gotten a lot and the only book we have had was indeed the Manhattan prep guide.

Integrated reasoning will get more resources in the next 2 to 3 months, I’m pretty sure as more companies put out their products and update their courses. I know we’re planning a few videos about it in September…

At the same time, the reason data insights was introduced is because supposedly you cannot easily hack it meaning that you can’t do much prep besides some basic principles. We will see if that’s indeed the case in the next few months.

Hi bb or someone a expert in GMAT...please help

My question is the Integrated Reasoning book by Manhattan Prep (one of the book from there 10 book set) sufficient to prepare for data insight section (mainly the IR types question and not for the data sufficiency part) in the new gmat focus edition?

E-gmat and TTP are launching expanded courses for data insight section. (I had taken classes from E-Gmat). I do believe since there revenue source is dependent on students enrolling for classes and now that Data insight (including earlier IR types questions) will be considered for calculating the Gmat score, strategically it makes sense for them to expand and release in-depth classes. But I have already given a year of mine preparing for Gmat and ended up with a 640 GMAT score and IR score of 8 and want to quickly finish my studies and be done with GMAT once and for all. I have decided to aim for GMAT Focus edition since the SC section eats lot of my time and energy for preparing for GMAT and geometry questions are kind of pain. Can someone help me with my query.

For IR score of 8, I had prepared from Manhattan Prep material and had taken 72 question set available on GMAC official website (mba com) which helped me fetch an IR score of 8 in the official exam.

Looking to a positive response with bit of detailed insight for way forward.

Thanks in advance, I am a guy now completely exhausted with GMAT.
