GMAT Integrated Reasoning Prep

If you are looking to raise your GMAT Integrated Reasoning prep to the next level, you might want to consider a GMAT Integrated Reasoning course set up by Varsity Tutors.

The GMAT Integrated Reasoning test assesses how well to use data to solve complex, business-related problems. If you feel that you could benefit from expert assistance with your GMAT Integrated Reasoning test prep, taking specialized GMAT Integrated Reasoning classes may prove a prudent move.

The first step in nearly any GMAT Integrated Reasoning prep program is understanding the format and content of the test. It utilizes a multiple-choice format, and some of the answer choices may incorporate drop-down menus and lists to make them more complex than the responses provided on the Quantitative and Verbal portions of the exam. That said, the fundamental skills of the Quantitative and Verbal sections still apply, though you will need to apply them to visual representations of data such as charts and graphs. Here are some of the question types you might want to concentrate on during your GMAT Integrated Reasoning prep:

• Multi-Source Reasoning - use data from graphics, tables, text, and other sources to analyze and answer questions
• Table Analysis - analyze and sort the data in a table (similar to using a spreadsheet) to identify the relevant information or the data that meets the desired condition
• Graphic Interpretation - Make inferences and identify relationships amongst data in graphs and other charts
• Two-Part Analysis - Handle challenges like evaluating trade-offs, solving several simultaneous equations, and identifying relationships between two entities from more complex problems

Students are free to interact with one another, creating a collaborative learning environment as you pursue your GMAT Integrated Reasoning test prep goals together. You can take advantage of this option, and you can still meet with your instructor individually outside of your course sessions if you feel the need.

Either option can provide you with practice questions to help you understand how questions might be worded on exam day. Consider the sample questions below as an example of what to expect:

• The following question is about a set of communications provided to the student:
  • Consider each of the following statements. Does the information in the three emails support the inference as stated?
