GMAT - Data Insights

The Data Insights section includes five distinct question types, each designed to measure a specific aspect of data reasoning and analytical thinking.

1. Data Sufficiency

Data Sufficiency questions present a problem followed by two statements. You must determine whether the given statements — individually or together — provide enough information to answer the question. These questions test logical reasoning and number sense rather than computation.

2. Multi-Source Reasoning

These questions provide information across multiple tabs — such as emails, charts, or tables. You must synthesize data from all sources to answer related questions correctly. This format closely mirrors real business scenarios where information comes from several places at once.

3. Table Analysis

In Table Analysis, you are given a sortable data table and must evaluate several statements as true or false based on the data. Strong data interpretation and attention to detail are key to answering these accurately.

4. Graphics Interpretation

Graphics Interpretation questions present a chart or graph — such as a bar chart, scatter plot, or pie chart — along with statements containing blanks that you must fill in using drop-down menus. These questions test your ability to read and interpret visual data quickly.

5. Two-Part Analysis

Two-Part Analysis questions require you to solve two interrelated components of a single problem simultaneously. The answer choices are arranged in a table, and you must select one answer for each part. These can involve quantitative, verbal, or logical reasoning.
