  • The section consists of 12 multi-task questions to be completed in 30 minutes, emphasizing the importance of time management.
  • It includes four question types: Multi-Source Reasoning, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and Two-Part Analysis, each requiring a blend of quantitative and verbal skills.
