New GMAT Section in June 2012: Integrated Reasoning
So the guys over at GMAC are adding a new section to the GMAT!
It’s called integrated reasoning and is basically a combination of Critical Reasoning + MBA level math. You’ll be asked to interpret charts and data sets. So stats, probability, and data analysis will be tested.
I actually think this is a good thing—it’s a lot more accurate to test these skills for an MBA program than it is to test triangles and circles. Interpreting tables of data is something that MBAs/management consultants/investment bankers do a lot–so why NOT test this skill in the GMAT?I feel testing probability and statistics in the context of theory is pointless. The new integrated reasoning section will be testing these same concepts in a much more relevant context.
Just take a look at the video below. Notice there are data sets categorizing data in terms of country, % change, Rank, etc, in the context of airport data.
More info from the GMAC folks directly.

This should be really interesting. Looking forward to a GMAT Pill for Integrated Reasoning!
I do have to say—I’m glad I won’t have to study for that since I’m taking the exam before then!
