  Break up of GMAT scoring scales
  AWA score (1-6)
  Integrated Reasoning score (1-8)
  Qunatitative score (0-60)
  Verbal score (0-60)
  Total GMAT score (200-800)
  
  Salient Points regarding IR section:
  

  • The total GMAT score (out of 800) is only calculated off of your Quant and Verbal scores.

  • Even though Verbal and Quant sections of the GMAT are computer adaptive, the new IR section is not computer adaptive. How you answer one question will not affect what question is given to you next.

  • You will have 30 minutes to do 12 questions

  • Different Question Formats tested in IR:

  1. Graphics Interpretation – Interpret the graph and select the option from a drop-down list.
  2. Two-part Analysis – Select One Answer from each column to solve a problem with a two-part solution.
  3. Table Analysis - Sort the table to organize the data so you can determine whether certain condition are met.
  4. Multi-source reasoning – Click on the page to reveal different data and discern which date you need to answer the question.
