What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

There are some kind of words in verbal which are tricky and which make us to ignore them most of the times in GMAT. For example, some,most,many,few etc...
There were times when I chose wrong answers just by ignoring these kind of words. Let me discuss few of such traps.
>In Sentence the author says, X is important tool but the answer choice contains X is the most important tool.
> The author gives %of Y in argument but he presents the number of Y in answer choice.
> The passage contains one study related to Z but the answer choice contains the passage aim is to discuss various studies related to z.
Hope the above points help you to identify these kind of mistakes when you solve a verbal question next time.

You are right, sirivelu, the some trap is particularly pernicious in CR and RC questions, but one way to get around the trap in most instances is to reason that if some did such-and-such, then some others did not, and since some could refer to just about any quantity, there is no way to tell in CR questions whether the answer choice puts a dent in the argument or not. Meanwhile, in RC, the same trap is often used with superlatives--best, most, highest, or anything ending in -st. Such language tends to be overreaching, and once you learn to identify it, you can more successfully navigate those tricky RC and CR questions.
Good luck with your studies.
