GMAT Multi-source Reasoning Sample Questions

Find one sample question above. The GMAT will follow almost the similar format. In this specific case, we have the first tab as ‘Image types’. The titles present below that head are CT, MRI, and PET. While just skimming through the text, these are explanations of various types of imaging techniques used in science or medicine.

Looking at the next figure, we have the next tab as ‘Comparison’. Here we can assume that we’ll compare the different techniques which were mentioned earlier. Just quickly skim through the text to get a rough idea. You will have to return to the passage to find the answers to the questions.

In the following figure, the last tab is ‘Brain functions’. We’ll see exactly what it is once we start answering our questions.

Refer to the above figure. Now, we will focus on the right-hand column as shown in the figure. There we will see three different statements along with one question. For each statement, we have to select one of two columns, ‘yes’ or ‘no’. In this particular case, we are asked to select ‘yes’ if the statement can be inferred from the information and ‘no’ if cannot. Read the question carefully and get back to the passage.

In GMAT IR, all three of the statements makeup one question only, and getting this question right means answering all three correctly. So, here, for example, the first statement reads ‘MRI poses less risk of DNA damage than CT and PET. Now, this is asking us to compare the different techniques which should immediately send us to the second tab – ‘Comparison’.

Looking at this tab, we find two paragraphs. This is still a lot of text is present. We are best off scanning this passage with something relevant to the statement. At the very end of the passage, there is DNA mentioned. The answer should be there. Read through it and answer the correct option.

GMAT multisource reasoning questions are undoubtedly difficult and much time-taking, but proper practice can help the candidates to answer more GMAT IR questions within the 30 minutes duration.
