GMAC, the organization behind the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT)
has announced that the test will gain an extra section, titled Integrated
Reasoning.
Due to be introduced on June 4th 2012, the new section “will ask test takers
to assimilate and integrate information from multiple sources to solve
complex problems; accurately interpret visual and tabular data
representations; and determine or estimate probability and statistics,”
according to the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC).
GMAT stays at three and a half hours
While the Integrated Reasoning section is likely to create a greater amount
of stress for students preparing for the GMAT, the overall length of the exam
will remain at three and a half hours. To make room for the extra section,
GMAC have opted to remove one of the two essays that currently form the
analytical writing section.
Keen to point out that this decision was due to feedback from business
schools, GMAC explained that, “admissions officers have stated and GMAC
research has shown that performance on the essays is closely aligned, making
a single essay acceptable for predicting performance.”
Verbal and quantitative sections remain unchanged
“The coming enhancements to the GMAT exam stem from multiple surveys of
business school faculty conducted during the past four years,” GMAC
announced. “The integrated reasoning portion of the GMAT will capitalise on
innovations in technology and assessments and feature questions that further
enhance the validity of the test,” through the use of graphs, spreadsheets,
charts and the like, which participants have to analyse successfully in order
to score highly.
The remaining features of the GMAT exam, most notably the verbal and
quantitative sections will remain unchanged, and those participating will
receive a breakdown of their results for each part, including the new
integrated reasoning section.
Speaking at the announcement, Dave Wilson, president and CEO of GMAC
explained the benefits of the integrated reasoning section to business
schools. “The new integrated reasoning section of the GMAT will be a
microcosm of today’s [business] school classroom... These questions will
provide critical intelligence to schools about the ability of prospective
students to make sound decisions by evaluating, assimilating or extrapolating
data.”
