If you\u2019re looking improve your score in SC,      be sure to watch all the videos for expert advice on this tricky      section.<\/p>\n<p>The final installment of the lesson, shown above, is all about idioms. Idioms are constructions that must be worded in a certain way. For many of our GMAT students, idioms are extremely frustrating because there's no logical explanation for why they are correct or incorrect. It's just the way it is!<\/p>\n<p>Often, the GMAT tests which certain preposition must be paired with a noun or verb to express the proper meaning. In this video, expert instructors Jen Rugani and Dave Ingber will provide a primer on spotting idiom errors and figuring out the right answer. There's also a practice problem built into the video; when you get to the practice question, just pause the video, take about 90 seconds to try it out on your own, and then play the video again for a full explanation.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video for more details, and if you missed any of the previous installments of SC Lesson 1, be sure to check them all out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.knewton.com\/blog\/tag\/GMAT-SC-Lesson-1\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently a released a new and improved in our GMAT course, and to spread the word we\u2019re releasing the first Sentence Correction lesson in nine handy installments.
