GMAT Focus Data Insights practice questions
GMAT Focus gives you 20 questions in 45 minutes across five formats, with an on-screen calculator. The section counts for a third of your total.
What the section tests
Data Insights, the newest section of the GMAT Focus Edition, gives you 20 questions in 45 minutes across five formats. Data Sufficiency asks whether two statements settle a question; Multi-Source Reasoning spreads information across tabs; Table Analysis gives you a sortable table; Graphics Interpretation gives you a graph with dropdown sentences; Two-Part Analysis asks for two linked answers from one list. Several formats have more than one part, and GMAC gives credit only when you get every part right.
Data Insights gives you an on-screen calculator; Quant and Verbal do not. GMAC reports a section score from 60 to 90 and weights it equally with Quant and Verbal in the 205–805 total, so Data Insights deserves a full third of your study time.
