Hi everyone,
After 3 months self-studying GMAT, I just took my very first GMAC mock test. My score is 700 (39V,47Q), however my IR is just 3.
I am planning to take the real exam by the end of next month and very worried that should I get the same low IR score, that might impact my overall MBA application.
Please can anyone advise if there is any good materials where I can specifically work on my IR?

I think many schools don't see the IR school but you should get 7-8. Once you practice, you can get to that score.
#1: Do the Questions Have the Same Format as Real GMAT IR Questions?
GMAT IR questions have unique formats that are unfamiliar for most students and can be confusing. The only way to ensure you know how to approach the questions on test day is to practice with questions that look like those you’ll see on the real GMAT IR section until you’re comfortable with with their style. As such, it’s vital that your GMAT IR practice questions are the same four types and closely resemble those you’ll see on the test.
#2: Is the Resource Computerized?
You’ll take the GMAT on a computer, so it makes sense to practice on a computer as much as possible before test day. This is especially important for IR practice, since the questions require you manipulate data and interact with answers in ways that aren’t possible on paper.
#3: Does the Difficulty Level of the Practice Questions Match the Real GMAT?
While the Integrated Reasoning section isn’t adaptive, you will see questions at different difficulty levels (easy, medium, and hard). When practicing, you’ll want to make sure that your GMAT IR practice questions cover all difficulty levels so you’re prepared to solve whatever questions you see on test day.
You should also beware that unofficial questions can sometimes be much easier or harder than the questions you’ll actually see on the GMAT. If you notice that you’re doing much better or worse than usual on a specific set of practice questions, consider that they may not be very accurate.
#4: Are Practice Questions Grouped by Skill or Difficulty Level?
Targeted practice, when you focus your practice session on one specific skill or question type, is one of the most effective ways to prepare for the GMAT. If you decide to focus on solving only graphic interpretation questions for one hour-long session, you’ll learn more than if you break that same one-hour session into shorter, 15-minute sections for all four question types. You might also want target your practice by difficulty level, for instance working at solving easy questions in a shorter amount of time.
Resources that allow you to sort questions by difficulty level or skill are extremely valuable, since they make creating targeted practice sets much simpler

Hi aidyn,
Many Business Schools have publicly stated that they do not use an applicant's IR score when evaluating an application, so you likely have nothing to be concerned about in that area. However, if you're interested in what a specific School/Program thinks about the IR score, then you should research that School directly (you might also consider contacting the School to ask).
Since this is your first CAT Score, we don't have a basis for comparison, so we can't say for sure whether you're actually performing at the "700 level" just yet (meaning that you might have gotten a little lucky/unlucky on some of the prompts and this score isn't a completely accurate assessment of your skills). Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
Goals:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
