Why you shouldn't worry about GMAT Integrated Reasoning
You’ve probably heard that as of June 2012, the GMAT includes a new section on Integrated Reasoning (IR). And you might be thinking that this is one more thing to keep you awake at night during the application season. But there is no need to worry.

Rest assured that IR is is new to us, too, and it’s going to take us (and our peer schools) some time before we know how to interpret it as it relates to the Stanford MBA Program. What we DO know is that the test was designed to provide insight into how you pull together knowledge from different sources--something you probably do already at work, and will certainly do here at Stanford.

For this application year, we will see your IR score if you have taken the new GMAT, but will focus on the verbal, quantitative, AWA, and total scores. Once we have had the chance to review IR scores in this first year, we will determine how to evaluate them in our process for next year. And, as we never tire of reminding you, no one score or section of a test is decisive in our process. We require no minimum or maximum scores; there is no cut off. We look for indicators of your academic ability throughout your whole application, and a test score is only one data point in a much larger picture.
And of course, some of you haven't taken the new GMAT, which is just fine. Test scores are valid for 5 years, and we accept both the GMAT and the GRE (and we don't play favorites). We do not have a preference about when you take your test. For more about test requirements, including a handy test validation calculator, visit our GMAT-GRE page.


7.21北美一战，攒RP！
回馈CDer，Manhattan废话太多，精简点好（真的很精简）。回复可见主要是抗外敌。由于编辑问题，文档看上去像没完结，很多童鞋问起。绿豆糕强调一下，这已经是完整版哈。
看完Manhattan和OG的解析，再结合Manhattan对IR的评价，其实IR一点都不用慌。

首先，自身能力排首位。绿豆糕一生都很幸运，每次考试都碰上改革。高考是第一年的3+x+综合，考托时是第一个月的iBT，杀G是第二个月的IR。之前两考都很顺利，是因为遵循了高中老师的教导：以不变应万变。只要自身能力提高，天塌下来一样见招拆招。

第二，因为IR 6.5才开始考，MBA申请人中就会出现同时有IR和AI的两种类型，基本没有可比性。这样一来，学校很难因为你的IR低分而嫌弃你。主要还是看数学和语文。其实，根据Manhattan的分析，作文哪怕4分都不会被歧视。所以学校的要求其实不很高。

第三，水涨船高。大家都是首考IR，大家都不熟悉题型。只要我们好好看寂静，再做1-2套完整的30分钟题目，足够了。相反，如果放在IR的时间过多，你的重头戏数学和语文荒废了，那才死翘翘。

第四，看了一个多月来大家的反应，实战似乎比prep上的IR容易，所以无须惊慌。

希望对大家有帮助。

Manhattan提示：不要被IR打乱你的pace，所以在中间尽量利用IR后的休息时间调整心态，还提议可以补充葡萄糖，例如喝佳得乐或其他energy drinks。个人认为，如果真要喝啥吃啥一定要提早起码一个星期在同一个时间吃喝同样的东西，否则肚子疼头疼咋的绿豆糕不负责哈。（我一喝Energy drinks就3天睡不着，心跳是平常两倍。）


7.21一战归来
Q48（很对不住乡亲父老）
V40


感谢大家的支持。累了，不想再战了，准备拿710去申请前10。缺点RP补救吧。


IR感觉：除了多元比较费时外，其他的非常简单。我没有看PREP的IR50，因为第一题看一半后觉得如果实战是这种难度12题根本不可能在30分钟做完，所以着重提高自己的Q和V水平。实战后证明判断正确，难度不大，只是考你看图能力，要熟悉各种图表的layout，要知道在哪里找信息就好了。时间基本是够的。再次强调，不用怕IR！等我成绩出来了再给大家报告哈。

7.28更新：刚去了一天的MBA Fair，听了cornell rep对GMAT的评价，说到IR。她说，我们从来木有见过IR，也木有任何IR的数据，所以IR对我们来说没有概念。（里面的潜台词，你懂的）

8.8更新：刚刚新鲜收到的分数IR 7分。很狂喜啊，觉得木有复习都可以拿这个分。呵呵～ 所以说IR木有问题嘛！
