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....

Hey,
Somewhere on the internet I found the following advice for the GMAT:
Negativity + so much as = always wrong
Could someone please help me with figuring out how what the author referred to?
I can't think about an example with a construction like that. What would be the correct way to say this in an apropriate form?
I'm glad about any answer. Thanks in advance!

This is not a real rule. This usage shows up in everyday speech in the phrase "I don't want to hear so much as a peep out of you." (This would be said in anger, meaning that you want the person to be quiet.) More commonly, we'll see "not so much X as Y": "It was not so much a debate as a shouting match."
Will you see these constructions on the GMAT? Probably not, but that doesn't make them invalid. In any case, learning random rules from people on the Internet is no way to master SC, especially if these rules are presented without the context of actual sentences. Learn from official SC problems, and apply grammar rules from a reputable source. If you want more, read well-written books and articles, but don't worry about what "someone on the Internet" said.
