12 IR questions will be auto-generated for the exam. The approximate types of questions you’ll see (again, depending on how
the algorithm calculates and the level of difficulty of questions selected) will be:
1. ~4 Two-Part Analysis
2. ~3 Graphics Interpretation
3. ~2 Table Analysis
4. ~3 Multisource Reasoning questions.
Type #1 of 4: Graphics Interpretation
– Here you’re given some kind of graph. It could be a bar chart, an XY scatter plot graph, or pie graph, or a Venn diagram. Your
job is to interpret the graph and answer the question.
Now of the 12 integrated reasoning questions you get in the 30 minutes, ~3 of those 12 will be graphical interpretation
questions. Each of those 3 questions will be formatted in the same way.
You’ll be given a diagram/graphic and your question will be formatted in the form of a drop down question. There will be two
(2) statements and each statement will have a dropdown where you will have to select the appropriate option that best fills in that sentence.

This usually asks you two questions that both have the same selection pool of available answer choices. The first question is in the first column and the second question is in the second column.
Out of the 12 integrated reasoning questions you’ll see in those 30 minutes you get for this section, ~4 of them will be two part analysis questions. That’s the most out of these 4 types of questions. All four of these two-part analysis questions will ask you to choose 1 answer for each of the 2 COLUMNS.
An example of the two-column format is shown to the left:
Note this “two-part” format differs from the confusingly similar “this/that” question format, which you’ll find in the Table Analysis and Multi-Source questions described below.
The two-part analysis questions can be either quant-focused or verbal-focused. There’s no guarantee you’ll get at least one of each on the exam but generally you can expect to spend more time reading through the passages for these questions – they can get to be quite wordy. Even on the quant focused questions, you might find yourself taking multiple steps just to get to your answer.
And remember, there’s only one answer in each column (not 5 or 6 answers with one in each row). The answer choice here is in columns so only two parts to this question.

This involves interpreting a table of information. You might have a few rows of data with a number of columns. You will have the ability to sort columns to help you sort through the pile of data. You will be asked a true or false question and you must answer yes or no for this integrated reasoning question.
(See attached sample)
Of the 12 integrated reasoning questions you’ll see, ~2 of them will be table analysis questions. Both of these ~2 questions will be in the “this/that” question format. Your job will be to choose Yes/No or True/False for each of the answer choices provided. Most of the time, you will see ~3 rows of answer choices – so you will need to pick 3 answers corresponding to the
2 options for each of those 3 answers. Here’s what it looks like:
Note the “This/That” format is similar but not the same as the “two-part” format mentioned above for the Two Part Analysis questions. Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it through the GMAT Pill videos.
