What I mean by skipping is just randomly selecting the answers and moving on to the 'main' exam. I know its not ideal, but if the scores aren't counted I dont really wanna spend my time racking my brains on something that doesn't count. Thoughts? Or rather implications of doing so?

Hey vb27
Generally speaking, you want to score decent enough on the IR section so as not to draw negative attention to a low IR score.
You don't want the admissions committee to focus on a really low IR score of like 1 or 2 -- that shows lack of effort or ability
That said, it's not that much more beneficial to have a perfect 8 versus a 6 or 7.
So ideally, you want to stay in the 4, 5, 6, or 7 range to efficiently get a score that is decent without putting a crazy amount of effort.
Best of luck!

Some schools won't like that. It's like deliberately getting a low score on the AWA section. Even if schools don't worry too much about the AWA, a combination of a low AWA score and a high GMAT score makes them uncomfortable, because they know that an applicant with such a combination did not take the GMAT as it was meant to be taken. The way it was taken by the majority of applicants. That applicant almost certainly got a major, and unfair, advantage (having to spend 1 hour less on the exam).
Please note though, that this opinion is based on a very small sample size and it may not be applicable to all schools. Also, the conversations I've had have been around the AWA, not the IR, section. I am assuming that they'll look at IR the same way.
