GMAT Integrated Reasoning Scoring System
The GMAT IR section consists of 12 questions across four question types:
- Multi-Source Reasoning (MSR) - 4 questions
- Graphics Interpretation (GI) - 3 questions
- Table Analysis (TA) - 3 questions
- Two-Part Analysis (TPA) - 2 questions
The IR section is scored on a scale of 1 to 8, with each point representing approximately 12.5% of the total possible points.
IR Score Formula:
IR Score = (Total Correct Answers / 12) × 8
Each question type contributes equally to your overall IR score. The GMAT does not penalize incorrect answers in the IR section.
Example Calculation
Let's say you answered:
- 3 out of 4 Multi-Source Reasoning questions correctly
- 2 out of 3 Graphics Interpretation questions correctly
- 2 out of 3 Table Analysis questions correctly
- 1 out of 2 Two-Part Analysis questions correctly
Your total correct answers would be 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 8.
IR Score = (8 / 12) × 8 = 5.33
This would round to an estimated IR score of 5.
Interpreting Your Results
Your IR score is one component of your overall GMAT score. Here's what each score range typically means:
| IR Score | Performance Level |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | Below average |
| 3-4 | Average |
| 5-6 | Above average |
| 7-8 | Excellent |
Remember that your IR score contributes to your overall GMAT score, which ranges from 200 to 800. The IR section is worth approximately 30% of your total score.
