What’s changing
The Integrated Reasoning Section
The major change in the Next Generation GMAT is that it will contain a 30-minute Integrated Reasoning section instead of a 30-minute Analysis of an Issue Task. The GMAT Integrated Reasoning section will start immediately after the essay question (Analysis of an Argument) and will contain 12 multiple-choice questions in the following 4 formats:
- Graphics Interpretation — see 4 sample questions
- Two-Part Analysis — see 5 sample questions
- Table Analysis — see 3 sample questions
- Multi-Source Reasoning — see 7 sample questions
