Hello,
I recently took the GMAT at a testing center. My understanding is that the Integrated Reasoning section only includes one set of Multi-Source Reasoning questions (typically 3 questions for one multi-tab prompt). However, my IR section had TWO different sets of multi-source reasoning that were three questions each (6 questions out of 12 total in IR).
This led to me running out of time, as the multi-source reasoning questions typically take longer to complete than other IR question types. I scored a 6 on IR vs my score of 8 in my previous GMAT attempt (albeit lower overall score previously).
Is it an actual rule / guideline that the GMAT should only have one set of multi-source reasoning questions? Should I contact GMAC about this discrepancy?
I really do not want to re-take the entire exam since I scored a 760 overall. I’d just like to understand if this is a common occurrence for IR.
Thank you for any insights that you can share.

surfingjerry - No, there's no such rule that a test-taker will encounter only one multi-source question set. I am sorry to hear you had two such tedious questions. Having said that, please do not worry about the IR score, and a score of 6 is actually great. An IR score of 5 and above is considered good by most business schools; in fact, a lot of business schools do not give any importance to the IR score while evaluating your application. Congrats on improving your GMAT score

there is no hard and fast rule and it can not be raised with GMAT. Gmat has no where mentioned a fixed set of questions within a section
