  • Data Insights is unique to the GMAT, focusing on processing large amounts of data from both quantitative and verbal information.
  • No new math or verbal content is needed; skills from Quant and Verbal sections translate directly.
  • The section is computer-adaptive, includes 20 questions to be answered in 45 minutes, and allows access to an on-screen calculator.
  • Five question types are featured: multiple-source reasoning, table analysis, graphics interpretation, two-part analysis, and data sufficiency.
  • Data sufficiency questions, a significant portion of this section, test the ability to determine if provided statements offer enough data to answer a question.
