GMAT Integrated Reasoning

The Integrated Reasoning section tests your real-world reasoning skills. You will need to evaluate information from multiple sources and in different formats. The emphasis is on both quantitative and verbal reasoning abilities. An on-screen calculator is provided for quantitative questions.

There are four types of question format:

Graphics interpretation

Two-part analysis

Table analysis
A Table is given with three yes/no or true/false type sub-questions. The data can be re-sorted.
