OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A common misconception is that if a GMAT test taker does not have superb math skills, he or she will not score as much points as someone who does.
A. GMAT test taker does not have superb math skills, he or she will not score as much points as someone who does
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The article much can describe only non-count nouns whereas the noun points is a count noun.
What helps us identify this mistake is the following Stop Sign: much, (a) little, less, the amount of
B. GMAT test taker does not have superb math skills, he or she will not score as many points as someone who does have such skills
Incorrect.
Although this answer choice corrects the original Parts of Speech mistake, it is still stylistically flawed. The use of the phrase have such skills is unnecessary and creates redundancy.
C. person taking the GMAT does not have superb skills in math, he or she will not score as much points as someone who does
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original Parts of Speech mistake. The article much can describe only non-count nouns whereas the noun points is a count noun
D. GMAT test taker does not have superb math skills, he or she will not score as many points as someone who does.
This answer choice corrects the original Parts of Speech mistake by changing the article much, which describes only non-count nouns, with many, which describes count nouns and agrees with points.
E. person taking the GMAT does not have superb math skills, he or she cannot score as much points as someone who does
Incorrect.
This answer choice repeats the original Parts of Speech mistake. The article much can describe only non-count nouns whereas the noun points is a count noun.

D. GMAT test taker does not have superb math skills, he or she will not score as many points as someone who does.
Points are countable so the choices boil down to B and D.
B is redundant in the end, adding unuseful information who does have such skills
D should be best
