I have learned in school that it is preferable to really only have one "and" in a sentence. How does the GMAT deal with this? Is there a limit on the number of "ands" that would make sense in a sentence before you run into trouble?
Thank you?

Hi woohoo921.
Who told you that it's best to have only one "and" in a sentence? It sounds like some kind of simplistic thing at teacher might say to young students.
In GMAT SC, that idea has basically no value.

It's common for students to get upset at sentences that have many 'ands,' but the fact is, even sentences with many 'ands' can be perfectly correct. You must see the structures that the 'ands' are connecting. If they are correct and the meaning is clear and logical, there's no limit to the number of ands.
"Arriving on time and wearing their team's jerseys and signature socks, the player and the coach, who has led his current and his previous team to a combined ten league and four world championships, walked to the locker room and shower area, talked about their strategy both to win the game today and to ensure that everyone knows their team is the better one, and celebrated their decisive victories last night and the night before."
Totally correct. Nine 'ands.'
"The farmer planted beans and carrots and raised chickens and hogs."
Totally correct despite having three 'ands' and no commas.
"The coach yelled and screamed and cried."
Incorrect (though, not a mistake I can recall an official GMAT problem making). Two 'ands.'
