Hi,
I noticed that some question types in the Integrated Reasoning part present more than one question.
Usually multi-source and table analysis.
I'm just wondering whether anyone knows whether it is something I can count on, and then spend more time understanding the information given at each question.
For example, if I know I have 2 questions regarding the same information, I can spend 3 minutes on understanding the material and 2 minutes on answering.
Any other insights on time management in this part would be more than welcomed!!

Thanks.

Plus make sure you read the question just once. It's not a good idea to read questions over and over. Initially it is not easy but eventually it has to develop as a habit.

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
