One of the big changes coming to the GMAT with the new GMAT Focus Edition is that the Integrated Reasoning section is becoming the Data Insights (DI) section. This article explains what question types test-takers will see in the DI section, how DI factors into GMAT scoring, and more. If you have questions about the "new IR," check it out!

Thanks for sharing the in-depth assessment of the forthcoming Data Insights section of the GMAT.

IR score will carry a much higher weightage in the new version of the GMAT.

LauraTargetTestPrep great article... I have a question :
Just like in the existing gmat pattern one can expect at least 4 RC passages in the verbal section, similarly in the new gmat focus edition how many IR questions are expected out of 20 questions in DI section?

Official GMAC Focus Edition prep which comes out on June 6 should provide more insight on this. The mocks should give a sense.

Archit3110 - We attended an official Test-Prep summit hosted by GMAC in India a few weeks back, and the below table was presented on one of the slides at the event (GMAC had given us permission to share these details).

As we can see, there are only ranges specified and not absolute numbers in terms of the sub-sectional split within Data Insights. The indicative composition/ split is noted below. Please also note that the composition/ split is subject to gradually change over time i.e. as more test takers take the GMAT Focus Edition.

a. Graphics Interpretation: 20-30%
b. Multi-Source Reasoning: 10-20%
c. Table Analysis: 10-20%
d. Two-Part Analysis: 10-20%
e. Data Sufficiency Analysis: 20-40%

The first 4 from the above list (a, b, c, d) are the IR components from the Current GMAT, and e (Data Sufficiency Analysis) looks like the corresponding sub-section from the Quant section of the Current GMAT.

Hope this helps.

Hi all! A quick question! just like in the IR section, DI will have multiple parts in the same question and test takers will have to make multiple choices/answers in the same question. in the IR, if one of the two or more parts of the question is wrong, the whole question is considered answered incorrectly. Is it the same in DI as well or is it as in RC; one wrong answer does not omit the whole Question?
