Integrated Reasoning
The Integrated Reasoning section includes 12 questions in 4
question types; each question requires one, two, or three
responses.
- Multi-Source Reasoning
- Table Analysis
- Graphics Interpretation
- Two-Part Analysis
Multi-Source Reasoning
Directions. (On the test day, you'll see
the following directions.)
You will work with two kinds of Muti-Source Reasoning
questions.
1. For multiple-choice questions, you select the best answer
choice you're given.
2. For questions with opposing answers, you'll see a set of
statements and two opposing answer options (for example yes/no,
true/false, inferable/not inferable). You select the response
item that's accurate for each statement.
You'll use the same data set of tabled pages for more than
one Multi-Source Reasoning question. After you confirm your
answer to one question, you'll get a new screen with the same
data set on the left and a new question on the right. Note that
questions with opposing answers will each require more than one
response.
Table Analysis
Directions. (On the test day, you'll see
the following directions.)
You'll be presented with a set of answer statements, each of
which has two opposing answer options (for example, yes/no,
true/false, inferable/not inferable). Use the drop-down menu to
sort the data in the table and then indicate which of the
opposing answers is accurate for each statement.
Graphics Interpretation
Directions. (On the test day, you'll see
the following directions.)
Interpret the graphic and complete the statements with the
most accurate word, number, or phrase from an embedded drop-down
menu.
Two-Part Analysis
Directions. (On the test day, you'll see
the following directions.)
Mark the best answer for the first part of the question in
the first column of the response table, and mark the best answer
for the second part of the question in the second column. The
answer choices appear in the third column.
