GMAC GMAT Focus Edition scoring structure

The GMAT Data Insights section was introduced with the GMAT Focus Edition (launched November 2023) and replaces the old Integrated Reasoning section while also absorbing Data Sufficiency questions from the former Quantitative section. It is scored on a 60–90 point scale and counts equally toward the total 205–805 GMAT score alongside Quantitative and Verbal. The section tests five distinct question types: Data Sufficiency (approximately 20–40% of questions), Graphics Interpretation (20–30%), Table Analysis (15–20%), Two-Part Analysis (10–20%), and Multi-Source Reasoning (10–20%). An on-screen calculator is permitted for the full section, unlike the Quantitative section where calculators are prohibited. GMAC reports that over 7,000 graduate business programs worldwide accept the GMAT score.

1What is the value of integer n? Statement (1): n² = 16 Statement (2): n > 0
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: Statement (1): n² = 16 gives n = 4 or n = −4, two values, so it is not sufficient alone. Statement (2): n > 0 gives no specific value. Together: n must be positive and satisfy n² = 16, so n = 4. Answer is C.
2Is x > 0? Statement (1): x² > 0 Statement (2): x³ > 0
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: Statement (1): x² > 0 tells us x ≠ 0, but x could be positive or negative (e.g., x = −2 gives x² = 4 > 0). Not sufficient. Statement (2): x³ > 0 implies x > 0 because odd powers preserve sign. Sufficient alone. Answer is B.
3A jar contains only red and blue marbles. What fraction of the marbles are red? Statement (1): There are 12 red marbles in the jar. Statement (2): The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 3:5.
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: Statement (1) gives only the count of red marbles; without the total, we cannot find the fraction. Statement (2) gives a ratio of 3:5, so the fraction of red marbles is 3/(3+5) = 3/8 — a unique value. Answer is B.
4What is the area of rectangle R? Statement (1): The perimeter of R is 40. Statement (2): The diagonal of R is 10√2.
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: Statement (1): 2(l+w)=40 → l+w=20; pairs (1,19), (10,10), etc. have different areas. Not sufficient. Statement (2): l²+w²=200; again multiple solutions. Together: l+w=20 and l²+w²=200. Using (l+w)²=l²+2lw+w²: 400=200+2lw → lw=100. Area=lw=100. Answer is C.
5Is the integer m divisible by 6? Statement (1): m is divisible by 3. Statement (2): m is divisible by 4.
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: Divisibility by 6 requires divisibility by both 2 and 3. Statement (1): divisible by 3 but not necessarily by 2 (e.g., m=9). Not sufficient. Statement (2): divisible by 4 (and thus 2) but not necessarily by 3 (e.g., m=4). Not sufficient. Together: lcm(3,4)=12, so m is divisible by 12, which means divisible by 6. Sufficient. Answer is C.
6A line in the xy-plane passes through the origin. What is the slope of the line? Statement (1): The line passes through the point (2, 6). Statement (2): The line passes through the point (−1, −3).
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: A line through the origin has equation y = mx. Statement (1): substituting (2,6): 6=2m → m=3. Sufficient. Statement (2): substituting (−1,−3): −3=(−1)m → m=3. Also sufficient. Each statement alone determines the slope. Answer is D.
7What is the average (arithmetic mean) of five consecutive even integers? Statement (1): The largest of the five integers is 18. Statement (2): The smallest of the five integers is 10.
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: For consecutive even integers, mean = middle (3rd) value. Statement (1): largest = 18 → set is {10,12,14,16,18} → mean = 14. Sufficient. Statement (2): smallest = 10 → same set → mean = 14. Also sufficient. Answer is D.
8If p and q are positive integers, is p/q a terminating decimal? Statement (1): q = 8 Statement (2): p = 3
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: A fraction p/q terminates if and only if q (in lowest terms) has only 2s and 5s as prime factors. Statement (1): q=8=2³, so any p/8 terminates (8 has only the prime factor 2). Sufficient. Statement (2): p=3 says nothing about q — 3/8 terminates but 3/7 does not. Not sufficient. Answer is A.
9A store sold 240 items in January. By what percent did the number of items sold increase from January to February? Statement (1): The store sold 300 items in February. Statement (2): The number of items sold increased by 60 from January to February.
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: January = 240 (given in the stem). Statement (1): February = 300 → percent increase = (300−240)/240 = 25%. Sufficient. Statement (2): Increase = 60 → percent = 60/240 = 25%. Also sufficient. Answer is D.
10If x and y are positive, is x > y? Statement (1): x/y > 1 Statement (2): x − y > 0
A.Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
D.Each statement alone is sufficient.
Explanation: Since x and y are positive, x/y > 1 ⟺ x > y. So Statement (1) directly implies x > y. Sufficient. Statement (2): x − y > 0 directly means x > y. Also sufficient. Answer is D.

GMAT Data Insights Exam Content Outline

20–40%

Data Sufficiency

Given a question stem and two numbered statements, determine which combination of statements is sufficient to answer the question. Choices cover: Statement 1 alone sufficient; Statement 2 alone sufficient; Both together sufficient; Each alone sufficient. Tests logical reasoning, number properties, algebra, and geometry — focused on sufficiency, not computation.

10–20%

Multi-Source Reasoning

Three clickable tabs present related information in text, table, or mixed formats. Questions ask you to synthesize data across tabs, draw inferences, and identify what is or is not directly supported by the sources. May include standard multiple-choice or dichotomous (Yes/No) sub-questions.

15–20%

Table Analysis

A sortable data table is presented along with multiple questions (typically dichotomous: Yes/No or True/False). You may sort the table by any column to find relevant data. Tests ability to identify patterns, compute derived values, and evaluate comparisons within structured data.

20–30%

Graphics Interpretation

A graph (scatter plot, bar chart, line graph, pie chart, histogram, or box plot) is accompanied by fill-in-the-blank statements. Each blank has a dropdown menu with 3–5 choices. Tests visual data literacy, slope interpretation, percentage calculations, and trend analysis.

10–20%

Two-Part Analysis

A problem requires simultaneously selecting two values or choices from the same list — one for each of two linked sub-questions. The answers to the two parts are interdependent. Tests optimization, constraint satisfaction, logical deduction, and multi-step reasoning across both verbal and quantitative domains.

GMAT Data Insights Study Tips from Top Performers

1For Data Sufficiency questions, evaluate each statement in isolation before considering them together — never let information from Statement 2 contaminate your analysis of Statement 1.
2For Table Analysis, read the question before sorting the table; sort by the column most relevant to the question to find the answer quickly.
3For Graphics Interpretation, always read axis labels, units, and the scale carefully before interpreting trends or reading off values.
4For Multi-Source Reasoning, the correct answer is always directly supported by data in one of the tabs — if you are making an inference beyond what is stated, you have likely chosen a wrong option.
5Practice time management: allocate roughly 2 minutes per question and flag difficult questions rather than spending more than 3 minutes on any single item in the adaptive section.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GMAT Data Insights section?

Data Insights is one of three sections of the GMAT Focus Edition. It includes 20 questions in 45 minutes and tests five question types: Data Sufficiency, Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and Two-Part Analysis. It replaced the old Integrated Reasoning section and absorbed Data Sufficiency from the former Quant section.

Is a calculator allowed on the GMAT Data Insights section?

Yes — an on-screen calculator is provided for the entire Data Insights section. This is a key difference from the Quantitative Reasoning section, where no calculator is permitted.

How is the Data Insights section scored?

Data Insights is scored on a scale of 60 to 90. It contributes equally with Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning to the total GMAT score, which ranges from 205 to 805. The section is computer-adaptive.

How many Data Sufficiency questions appear in the Data Insights section?

Data Sufficiency questions make up approximately 20–40% of the 20 Data Insights questions (roughly 4–8 questions). Unlike the old GMAT, these DS questions are now in applied or story-problem format and may include graphs — pure algebraic DS has been replaced by real-world reasoning.

How should I approach Multi-Source Reasoning questions?

Read the question first, then navigate to the specific tab containing the relevant data. Avoid trying to memorize all tab content before seeing the question. Verify that answer choices are directly supported by stated facts — reject choices that require assumptions not present in any tab.

What is the best strategy for Two-Part Analysis questions?

Identify the constraints connecting the two parts first, then enumerate valid combinations. Often the two parts are linked by a shared equation or a constraint that limits which answer pairs are feasible. Eliminate pairs that violate any constraint before selecting your final answer.
