What is integrated reasoning?

The GMAT Integrated Reasoning section is a new section on the GMAT, and will be introduced on June 1st, 2012. Instead of making test takers suffer even longer, GMAC, the writers of the GMAT, have decided to replace one of the essays with the Integrated Reasoning section.

As the section implies there is a fair amount of reasoning involved – most will be quant-based though there will be some verbal-based reasoning as well.

Here are some important points to keep in mind:

  • You must answer a question before moving on
  • Once you answer a question you can’t go back to it
  • A graph or prompt may have multiple questions
  • You will have 30 minutes to do 12 questions
  • There will be an onscreen calculator for this new section (but not for the rest of the exam!) [click to continue…]
