In June 2012, the Analytical Writing Issue essay question will be replaced with the new Integrated Reasoning section. Details are still forthcoming, but we know that the Integrated Reasoning section tests your ability to interact with data using four question types.
These questions are meant to simulate business school tests. The idea is that if you can do well on the GMAT's Integrated Reasoning questions, then you will probably do well in business school. It remains to be seen how much importance admissions officers will give this section.
The Integrated Reasoning section consists of 12 questions that you take in 30 minutes. These 12 questions consist of four question types: Table Analysis, Graphics Analysis, Two-Part Analysis, and Multi-Source Reasoning
Below are clickable demos of the four question types. Press the green arrow to view the solution for each question.
