Re: GMAT IR Tips
As you requires I am here giving you tips for Analyzing Integrated Reasoning (IR) Questions for Graduate Management Admission Test ( GMAT). Tips for Analyzing Integrated Reasoning Questions on the GMAT: Learn the Question Format Think as an Executive Note how the variables relate to each other. Treat Integrated Reasoning like an open-book test. Pause to read the all of the labels Check out the units Always ask: what does this data tell me? Sample IR question: Article one : News article in a popular business publication June 7 - If current trends continue, farmed seafood will overtake ocean fishing as the world's largest source of seafood by 2025. Aggressive overfishing of the world's oceans and the inability of world governments to agree on fishing limits mean that farming will become critical to the industry's ability to meet worldwide seafood demand. Additionally, recent concerns about mercury levels in wild-caught fish have led many consumers to prefer farmed fish, further creating increased demand for this relatively new source of seafood. Article two : Interview with a well known scientist in a technology journal July 2 - Dr. Jason Dempster, one of the world's most outspoken critics of the seafood industry's unwillingness to curb its output in order to protect the fish population, suggests that more than two dozen popular species may become virtually extinct in the next several decades. "I understand that consumers keep buying the seafood, and fishermen are naturally going to meet demand wherever they can find it. However, if something isn't done to meet the demand another way, by the middle of this century even something as common as tuna may become a delicacy only the world's wealthiest families can afford." Article three : Article from a weekly news magazine July 20 - Demand for tilapia, one of the world's most popular species of fish, has grown 1000% over the last decade as people around the world have discovered it as a low-cost fish that goes well with a variety of foods. This increased demand has encouraged countless tilapia farms to open in China, and American officials have expressed concern that not all tilapia imported from China meets U.S. safety standards. Some experts in the U.S. have called for creating more stringent standards for all seafood imports, but Chinese authorities warn that this may dramatically increase the cost of seafood imported into the United States Consider each of the following statements. Does the information in the three articles support the inference as stated? Yes No The world's governments usually do not agree with one another on how to deal with matters related to fishing and seafood farming. Yes No An increase in worldwide demand for tilapia has driven the world's ocean fish population to dangerously low levels. Yes No Dr. Dempster supports an increase in fish farming. Yes No Chinese tilapia farms have led some U.S. consumers to worry about the levels of mercury in their seafood. |
