As more business schools embrace the impact of individual research (IR), its relevance in admissions processes has grown. A good IR score can set candidates apart at highly selective schools.
Preparing for the IR section requires practicing all question types, which will enable you to identify which are more challenging for you and focus on studying them in depth. Furthermore, knowing when and how to guess is also critical. For example, if it takes you more than three minutes to answer any particular question (GAMO rule) skip it (GAMO strategy). By adopting this strategy it could save significant time while raising your score on this exam section.
