So I just tried the new Integrated Reasoning questions on the GMAC website b/c I was curious what they looked like. Well it turns out that they are AWESOME. If you are financial analyst like me, they are super easy. I tried them all and got them all right in just a few minutes. Plus you get a calculator. I think it would have been a perfect section for me, especially when my quant isn't 90%+. It would've been a way to show my analytic skills also. Check them out if you're curious:

1) Will not having the integrated reasoning score make my GMAT score look less impressive in the future? Next year I would be competing against people with this new type of score. Adcoms will most likely be looking for people that do well in this area right?
2) I know many GMAT instructors and companies are encouraging people to take the GMAT before the June 2012 when this new section is inserted. Is it possible, that they should actually be encouraging some people (especially someone like me that would benefit from what I would consider an easy section) to actually WAIT until the new section comes out?
Interesting to think about. What do you guys think? Any professionals out there with an opinion?
