As the section implies there is a fair amount of reasoning involved — most will be quant-based, though there will be some verbal-based reasoning as well.
What are the different parts? The dutiful pencil- pusher can verify: A is a fact, B is a fact, and C is a fact. Lots of folks can verify information. Good managers can integrate and synthesize information, weigh costs and liabilities, and come up with bold decisions for courses of action to take. That very aptly describes what the IR section is designed to assess. You need to know basic math, especially percentages and ratios, and you need to be able to interpret word problems.
You need to know how to read graphs. You need to read critically and interpret, much as you do on CR and RC questions. These are the basic skills absolutely required to negotiate the IR section, but they are not really what the IR is designed to test.
Higher order reasoning The IR section is designed to assess higher order reasoning. These skills include: 1. Integrating information, including organizing and synthesizing different kinds of information.
Evaluating sources of information, or evaluating tradeoffs and possible outcomes of a course of action. Drawing inferences, making predictions, and identifying what further conclusions are supported by the given data. Interrelating information, seeing how parts fit together in context. Formulating strategy, deciding among possible plans of action. These are all skills that managers need for success in the business world.
These are skills that business school professors reinforce and assess. This is precisely why hundreds of business school faculty from around the world provided GMAC with the feedback that lead to the creation of the IR section. Yes, there are challenges associated with the new IR section.
Ultimately, the challenges of the IR section are closely related to the challenges you will experience in business school and as a manager in the business world. These challenges, these opportunities to apply your creativity and insight to complex problems, are part of what make the business world engaging, even exhilarating, for folks.
Do everything you can to prepare, so that when you face the IR section, you can bring your best to the challenge. The sequence of the new test will be 1. Graphics Interpretation GI 2. Two-Part Analysis 2PA 3. Table Analysis TA 4. GMAC has revealed neither what that fundamental breakdown is, nor how many of the 12 questions will be experimental. The other four questions would be experimental questions, and will be different for different users.
In each case, only the baseline eight questions count toward the score, and the others are experiments. The numbers in this example are purely hypothetical: we have no idea what GMAC has up their sleeve. Some of them must be experimental! Quite true. The catch is, among those six 2PA questions, the two that count could be the first two, or the last two, or any combination. There are actually 15 different ways that the two that count could be scrambled among the four experimental questions.
As the test taker, even if you do have strong suspicions about which question types the experimental questions were, you will have no way of knowing, as you are working on a particular question, whether it counts or is experimental. Fact: The IR section is not computer adaptive. You are randomly assigned 12 questions as a group, and move through that sequence regardless of whether you are getting questions right or wrong.
Fact: The IR score will be an integer from 1 to 8. For example, in a TA question in which there are three dichotomous prompts e. If you get at least one of the three wrong, the whole question is wrong. Fact: The number of IR questions you get right will constitute a raw score. The GMAC, using an arcane alchemy known only to them, will convert that raw score to a scaled score 1 — 8 , which will be accompanied by percentiles. BUT, harder for everyone means lower raw scores are needed to get a high percentile grade.
What matters is not how inherently easy or hard the test is: what matters is how well you perform, compared to other test takers. These cards contain the information that will be relevant to answering the question. You can view only one card at a time. You will only see one question at a time, and once you submit your answer to a question, you cannot go back.
In other words, for each of the three questions, you have a dichotomous choice: just two possibilities. You must answer all three correctly to get credit for this MDC question, as there is no partial credit on the IR section. The nature of the information Some of these questions are intensely verbal: for example, three parts of a conversation or an email exchange. Others are more numerical: for example, one card might describe the overview of a scenario, and the other two cards will give numerical parameters informing aspects of the scenario.
The card that introduces the scenario may define relevant jargon or relevant abbreviations, and then the other cards will use that jargon or those abbreviations in context. The information on the three different cards can interrelate in any one of a number of ways. Again, you will be free to click back and forth among the three cards as much as you like, but at any moment in time, you will be looking at only one of the three: you cannot view cards simultaneously. No matter how new or foreign it may appear, everything you need to answer the question is given.
Map, don't memorize In Reading Comprehension, you do not need to memorize every detail of a passage: your goal on the first reading is to extract the main idea and the topic of each paragraph: this gives you a "map", and when you get to a detail question, you will follow your "map" back to the relevant section.
That is very much what you will do with MSR question. You don't need to memorize: you do need to figure out a where the pieces of information are located, and b how information given on one card influences or plays into information given on the other cards. Be careful to distinguish what must be true from what could be true. Make sure you verify the answer to each question with concrete information on the cards. Each one of their products can be classified into one of 5 groups.
Weights include all necessary packaging for shipping. On the real GMAT and in Magoosh , they will be clickable cards all in the view of one window on different tabs. Option A only items requiring refrigerated shipping sent via refrigerated shipping , and all other items sent without refrigeration Option B all items, regardless of type, sent via refrigerated shipping fifteen piece assortments requiring refrigerated shipping and five piece assortments not requiring refrigerated shipping A B ten piece assortments requiring refrigerated shipping and ten pieceassortments not requiring refrigerated shipping A B five piece assortments requiring refrigerated shipping and fifteen piece assortments not requiring refrigerated shipping A B Suggestions for this eBook?
Refrigeration required. Answer: B, A, A Suppose you have a mixed order and it is all going to be sent via refrigerated shipping. Suppose some items, not requiring refrigeration, are removed from that shipment, and a non-refrigerated shipment is created.
When the total weight of the non-refrigerated shipment exceeds 10 lbs. The first order has five piece assortments not requiring refrigerated shipping: 5 x 1.
