This is the fourth and last of our videos on Integrated Reasoning, each of which explores a different type of question we see in this section. For an explanation on what the Integrated Reasoning section is all about, watch our first video on Graphics Representation. This video will explore a different type of question we see in this section – Multi Source Reasoning.
Multi-source reasoning is a question format which is very heavy in data. In these questions we are given a lot of information, which is divided into separate categories, and those categories are separated into tabs. So we have three different tabs, in each of which we’ll find separate bits of information. Some of these bits, and usually all of them, relate to the questions we’re being asked. Now, we’re all familiar with using tabs from out everyday online use, but in this case – we don’t actually want to read everything. We only have 2.5 minutes on average per question in the Integrated Reasoning section, and that is not a lot of time at all relative to this amount of information. So, instead of reading everything, what we need to do is find only the information we need based on the questions we are asked. But in order to do that effectively, we do need to understand what information we have – so, the first thing we want to do is read the titles, and figure out – what is this all about?
