The Integrated Reasoning (IR) section on GMAT consists of 12 questions that have to be answered in 30 minutes. All questions are multiple choice.
The GMAT IR section has 4 question categories. They are:
1. Table Analysis
2. Two-part Analysis
3. Graphics Interpretation
4. Multi-source reasoning
To get an overview of the 4 question types on GMAT Integrated Resoning section, please watch • GMAT Integrated Reason...
Some of the twelve questions on the GMAT Integrated Reasoning section also have sub-questions (either 2 or 3 sub-questions). The answer to the question is counted as a correct answer only when all the sub-questions have been answered correctly. Otherwise, it is counted as a wrong answer. This is among the bigger challenges on GMAT IR.
Woah, knew this would be good but didn't think this video would give me so much clarity on IR. My ability to understand IR just jumped from 30% to 70%. Thanks a lot ! :)
Appreciate your feedback and kind words. Thanks 🙏
Very well explained. Thanks a lot! I was a bit skeptical about starting my IR prep. This has given me confidence.
Thank you for your feedback! Appreciated 🙂
Hey! I bought a verbal material that I'm no longer using. If you would like to use it, I can share it with you. Let me know at singmanu9428@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for this video! A first glance IR had scared me but after watching this video, it helped a lot.
Thank you for your appreciation and feedback ☺️
Fantastic attempt to answer all the queries related to IR. Very thorough explanation! Recommended to everyone preparing for GMAT!
Thank you very much for your kind words 🙂 Highly appreciated!
Thank you so much for this video, this will help me immensely in tackling the IR section. :) Loved the explanation and strategy.
Thank you for your feedback. Appreciated 🙏
@@SharpMindsGMATPrep Would skipping questions strategy (10/12) works the same for Executive Assessment Test? Because IR section in EA test is weighted and since to maximise the total score, I was wondering what will be the strategy for EA test if the number of questions and time remains the same.
Also, do you guys do Prep work for EA test too? Absolutely love your explanations!!
Given that GMAT is far more competitive than EA, it is unlikely that you will need to stretch your attempts in the IR section beyond what works well on the GMAT exam. We do not offer separate courses for EA, but can customize the tutoring through a combination of GMAT learning material and private coaching sessions. Also, many thanks for your kind appreciation 🙏
Thank you sir. The take-away message is that you need to be super-careful while reading the stuff.
I failed my first gmat IR bcos i didnt understand IT. Thank God i found ds video fr my next trial. Am now confident
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks🙏
IR question about brazil and Russia at 15:00 , Does close proximity to Museum mean More people visiting museum ? It can also mean People there are not interested or not much to see there, etc
You are right in saying that close proximity to a museum does not necessarily mean that more people visit the museum. However, it can be a good logical explanation as to why more people in that region visit museums compared to other regions. The question is asking us to give a possible explanation for the phenomenon, and this one fits.
In this question type, you have to choose as your answer one of the possible factors that can lead to the data seen in the table.
We are not saying:
If X (option) Then 'Necessarily Y' (data in table)
Instead we have to ask:
If Y (data in table), then 'Could it be because of X' (option)?
Hope this clarifies.
This was very informative and helpful! Thank you so much.
Thank you! Appreciate your feedback.

Thanks for your kind words. 🙏 All the best for the GMAT exam!

Thank you for your feedback. Glad to hear. All the best!
Great job on this video on IR ! You almost made it easy for me (thank you!)
Glad it helped!
Thanks so much for this! Doing my exam on Tuesday and hadn't really done much IR (my target school isn't really going to focus so much on this score) and it's good to have at least some knowledge on strategy and types before going in!
Definitely going to check out your other videos before my exam (just as a refresher).
How did your Exam go?
Joakim Bredberg didn’t get the score that I wanted but enough for the school I’m aiming for! Plus I did surprisingly well in the IR section even though I only spent a few days on it.
I realised that I purchased a secondhand GMAT book without a code by mistake and then I was panicked when I figured out that there is no integrated reasoning section in the book🥲Your video saved me...Have been watching twice. Today is the exam day whoa...Thank you for the video with so many useful tips!It's so nice of you!
Thank you! Glad you found the video useful. All the best for your exam👍
thank you a lot for your thorough explanation. I just wish that the video has subtitle so that I can hear you better
Very nice information on integrated reasoning 👍👍
Thank you for your feedback.
This video helped me a lot ( even when I have already given the GMAT thrice) , very informative video!!
Appreciate your feedback. Thank you 😊
If you had to take an educated guess, how much weight do you think an admissions committee places on the IR score compared to the overall GMAT score?
Well explained ❤
Thank you so much. That was a great explanation of IR, it helped me a lot.

in brazil question 3rd question do we need to check all 5 as more than 20 percent as only 3 were able to qualify out of 5 so i.e why you stated it as no?
Thank you for this video! Very helpful
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
Really good explanation
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
thank you so much.
You are welcome 🙂
Thank you again for the video...will you know if note boards and markers are provided for this integrated reasoning section during the exam? Or is it only a virtual calculator provided for that part?
For the IR section, you will have access to an online calculator. In addition to this, the noteboard and markers (physical) that you are allowed to use for the rest of the exam are available for this section as well. So you can use the same for your rough work during the exam.
@@SharpMindsGMATPrep Thank you so much for your response. It is really pleasant to know that these tools are available for the IR part of the exam too.
This was really helpful! Thank youu
Glad you found it useful 🙂
How is the number of natural history museums per capita related to the percentage of people visiting these museums?
It is possible Russia has the highest number of museums per capita, but people don't visit them as much as other countries.
So, I think the second statement's answer should be 'would not help explain'.
Table variant type 2, second statement.
Let's say you have a data table which shows that Peter scored the highest marks in his class in Subject A.
You have to provide a possible explanation for the same.
There is an option that says:
Peter put in more hours than any of his classmates in preparing for Subject A
Does the above help explain the data in the table?
The answer is Yes, it does
While we can argue that putting in maximum number of hours does not necessarily mean getting the highest marks, or that quality of prep matters more than quantity, or that Peter might have cheated, the explanation given is still a good one.
So in the question discussed in the video, you have to look at the correct option as a possible explanation. It need not be the only explanation, nor does it always have to follow. All we have to check is whether it is logical or not to connect the option with the data
Hope this helps.
it was just amazing sir
Thank you. Appreciate your feedback 🙏
You are great! Thank you
Thank you for your feedback. Glad you liked the video.
Can you use the marker tool this instructors using on the GMAT? Thank you for the video
No, the marker tool has been used only for the purpose of explaining in this video. It is not available on the exam. However, you are given a writing pad that you can use for rough work. An online calculator is also available for the IR section only.
Thanks for your feedback.
Sir how can I contact with you ?
Thankyou so much sir it was a helpful lesson :)
Appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
is the level same in the real exam as shown in the video or more or less?
The questions discussed in the video are from the official GMAT website mba.com hence they are very representative of actual questions. In any case, not all 12 questions in the IR section of the exam will have the same difficulty level, so a couple of questions are likely to be harder and a few others easier as well.
As for the graph question, at the first glance, I think of the graph as the cumulative S-Curve, and then I get the wrong answer.
If a graph is cumulative, it will be clearly stated in the graph description 🙂 Likewise for other forms of data.
@@SharpMindsGMATPrep Much appreciated. :) your advice and this video are very informative.
Thank you!
I wished that the font of the words on the screen were bigger...😂
Thanks for the feedback 😊
vae-ri-ents. not vaar-i-ants. Great video otherwise!
