Introduction

Hello all the members here is another new project Integrated reasoning (IR) Butler. Now you will get one IR question daily. All of you who have entered into GMAT world will be well aware of what IR is. I will give a quick review of the section.

What is Integrated Reasoning (IR)?

IR is an important section of the GMAT, it tests you via logical reasoning and data interpretation skills. You have to go through on these skills in business world on daily basis and that is why AdComs consider IR score seriously. The IR section is non-adaptive, 30 minutes long and contains 12 questions. The top score is an eight, and this score is separate from the AWA score as well as the general GMAT score, which is out of 800 points. IR section, unfortunately on the forum, is not as much active as it ought to be but I will try to make it better than before (hopefully).

Structure of Integrated Reasoning (IR)

IR score is measured on 1-8 point scale (in 1-point increments).

• Total number of questions: 12
• Total time: 30 minutes
• Time per question: 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

There are four different types of questions which test your ability in the section.

• Graphics Interpretation
• Table Analysis
• Multi-source Reasoning
• Two-part Analysis

Advice for IR

• Don’t try to guess which questions are experimental.
• Timing is crucial here, but do not get stuck anywhere, and work to your strengths.
• You can make mistakes and receive a perfect score.
• If you are running out of time, GUESS!
