Best Prep courses for weak IR

by hwang327 » Sun Jul 17, 2016 1:33 pm
Hi,

Did my first test yesterday and as expected, IR was my weakest point (12 percentile). Can anyone recommend any prep courses or companies that effectively help with IR?

Thanks

Hi hwang327,

Many Business Schools have publicly stated that they don't use the IR score as part of the application process, so you likely have little to worry about in that regard. If you're genuinely interested in what a specific School/Program thinks about the IR section, then you should contact the Admissions Office directly.

You're going to find that many of the skills that you use to deal with Verbal CR questions will also be useful in IR, so you might want to hold off on investing too much time or effort into a category that should naturally improve as your skills grow in other areas.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
