• Data Sufficiency
• Graphics Interpretation
• Two-Part Analysis
• Table Analysis
• Multi-Source Reasoning

Each of these question types may require you to interpret data in different ways.

• Tables:
  Raw data in rows and columns.
• Charts:
  Pie charts, bar charts, line graphs, and scatter plots.
• Textual data:
  Sometimes, data is provided in a text-based format or as part of a larger problem-solving scenario.
• Multiple sources:
  Some questions involve synthesizing information from multiple sources or pieces of data.

• Identify trends or patterns in data.
• Make comparisons or rank data points.
• Solve for missing values.
• Draw logical conclusions based on the data presented.
• Apply quantitative reasoning to make decisions based on complex datasets.

• Graphics Interpretation: You’ll analyze graphs or charts and select the best interpretation based on the data.
• Two-Part Analysis: You’ll answer questions that involve two related components (e.g., evaluating the impact of one variable on another).
• Table Analysis: These questions present data in a table format. You’ll be asked to interpret and analyze specific values, identify patterns, or filter data based on given criteria.
• Multi-Source Reasoning: These questions present data from multiple sources, such as a combination of tables, graphs, and text. You’ll need to synthesize the information and answer questions based on multiple perspectives.

• Familiarize yourself with data formats:
  Practice interpreting tables, graphs, and charts. The more comfortable you are with different data representations, the better.
• Practice quantitative reasoning:
  While the Data Insights section isn't purely math-focused, having a good understanding of numbers, percentages, and basic arithmetic will help you interpret data more accurately.
• Use official GMAT prep materials:
  The GMAT’s official prep resources, such as the GMAT Official Guide, provide good practice questions and detailed explanations.
• Practice time management:
  Since you have a limited amount of time, you’ll need to practice answering questions quickly and efficiently without sacrificing accuracy.
• Analyze data sets:
  Try working with real-world data (such as statistics or economic reports) to get used to interpreting data from multiple sources.

• Interpret and analyze data from various sources.
• Identify trends, relationships, or correlations in the data.
• Draw conclusions based on logical reasoning.
• Apply problem-solving techniques to make data-driven decisions.

• Data Sufficiency (DS):
  This section has been merged with Data Insights Section in The Focus GMAT.
• Interpreting complex data:
  Some of the charts, graphs, and tables can be dense, making it hard to quickly identify key insights.
• Time pressure:
  With only 45 minutes for 20 questions, you’ll need to answer each question quickly while being careful not to rush through the data.
• Complex relationships:
  Some questions involve more than one variable or require you to synthesize data from multiple sources, which can be challenging.

• Skim the data:
  Quickly identify the key points of the table, chart, or graph before diving into the question.
• Answer easier questions first:
  Some questions may be straightforward, so answer those quickly and then tackle the more complex ones.
• Don't get stuck:
  If a question is taking too long, move on to the next one and return to the tricky ones later if time allows.

• GMAT Official Guide:
  Includes practice questions and detailed explanations.
• GMAT Prep Software:
  Free software provided by the makers of the GMAT, with real GMAT-style questions.
• Third-party GMAT prep books:
  Many test prep companies, such as Manhattan Prep, Kaplan, and The Princeton Review, offer books specifically geared toward Integrated Reasoning.
• Online practice platforms:
  Websites like Magoosh, Target Test Prep, and others offer practice questions and interactive lessons for the Data Insights section.
