New GMAT Section in June 2012: Integrated Reasoning

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.

GMATPill has created solutions to sample Integrated Reasoning questions from GMAC for their new GMAT exam.

There are 4 types of Integrated Reasoning Questions

Type #1: Graphics Interpretation – Here you’re given some kind of graph. It could be a bar chart, an XY scatter plot graph, or pie graph, or a Venn diagram. Your job is to interpret the graph and answer the question.

Type #2: Two-Part Analysis – This usually asks you two questions that both have the same selection pool of available answer choices. The first question is in the first column and the second question is in the second column.

Type #3: Table Analysis – This involves interpreting a table of information. You might have a rows of data with a number of columns. You will have the ability to sort columns to help you sort through the pile of data. You will be asked a true or false question and you must answer yes or no for this integrated reasoning question.

Type #4: Multi-Source Reasoning – This one involves multiple tabs of information. Usually the first question will correspond with the first tab and the second question will correspond with the second tab and so on. All tabs will be related in some way.
