The Integrated Reasoning section is scored separately on a scale of 1-8. The IR score does not affect the AWA, Quantitative, Verbal or Total scores.
Scoring
Integrated Reasoning scores range from 1-8, in single-digit intervals. The Integrated Reasoning score offers a new data point for schools to consider applicants to their programs and does not affect the Quantitative, Verbal, Total, and Analytic Writing Assessment scores.
Like the Analytical Writing Assessment, the IR score will be scored separately and is not included on the unofficial score reports provided to test takers immediately after the exam. It is delivered within 20 days on the Official Score Reports.
Official Score Reports include an Integrated Reasoning score percentile, which is the proportion of scores below the given score. As the section is introduced, the Integrated Reasoning score percentile on Additional Score Reports (requested later) and on the GMAT score reporting website accessible to schools may change slightly as more test takers sit for the exam. GMAT score percentiles for the Analytical Writing Assessment, Verbal, Quantitative, and Total scores are all based on three years’ worth of score data. IR percentile scores will be updated monthly through 2012 and then updated yearly on the same schedule as the other GMAT percentiles.

Score Reports
The introduction of the Integrated Reasoning Section changed the format and layouts of the score reports (both data files and PDF reports). Schools that download data files into their proprietary database systems should have their systems updated to access GMAT score reports.

Publishing Official Score Reports
Official Score Reports are generally available 20 days after the test date. Although GMAC has published a 20-day score report turnaround for many years, test takers and programs have become accustomed to a much quicker reporting time. GMAC is publishing Official Score Reports as quickly as possible, but it takes close to 20 days before Official Score Reports are available to ensure that all Integrated Reasoning scores are equivalent.
