Yes you should study for it!!
You need to be able to get some of these questions right and more importantly you need to be able to do this in a relatively relaxed fashion so that you are not taking away from your Quant and Verbal sections. If you have to scramble to hard on IR it can impact those two later portions.
The only new skills are graphs. Otherwise it is a combination of other forms of reasoning - but you will want to have done several of these questions so that you know what to expect!
The GMATPrep version 2.1 has 15 integrated reasoning questions as part of the 90 study questions that are offered. These are tough! You could try those. Here is a link to the Veritas IR page where we discuss things. https://www.veritasprep.com/gmat/integra ... questions/
Good Luck!

I asked you a question in another forum but I see you answered it here!! https://www.beatthegmat.com/importance-o ... tml#531325
I said at least a 4 in the IR and you said a 5 or 6 to be safe. If there is a chance that you are applying in later years then the 5 - 6 score is better. Just don't work too hard on test day to get it. So ,yes, studying will pay off not only in a decent IR score but also in not being too tired on the Quant and Verbal section.
Thanks Fred!
