HOW IMPORTANT IS IR

[vinishbnair]

Hi !

Im taking the GMAT on Jan 15th. I would like to know how seriously must I approach IR , considering that I wish to score above 600 overall? Up until now I haven't paid any attention to IR , infact I have completely ignored this section...thinking to approach the IR section as it comes as this section isn't one of the main areas that will attract an MBA recruiter's attention.

I'd like to know what do you suggest ? Im looking for an average score of the IR , esp. as I dont have time now to prepare for the section. Would it be okay to go ahead without spending time on IR or not ?

It's worth spending a little time preparing if you can spare it. Definitely take one or two IR sections on practice tests, and go through the IR Interact on our website so you can learn a little about timing strategy. You'll definitely want to come up with a timing plan before going into the GMAT. Regardless of what happens on the IR though, don't let it affect the rest of your test. :)

IR is not a component of the 200-800 score.
