FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: Idioms in GMAT Sentence Correction |
The English language is full of idioms, and the GMAT creators like to test some of these. Although there are some idioms that are more common in the GMAT, there is little alternative but to learn as many of them as you can. An enjoyable way to do so is to read as widely as possible and make a note of idiomatic structures you come across. Pay particular attention to prepositions involved in idioms, as many idiom questions test prepositions. |
FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: Idioms in GMAT Sentence Correction: List of Most Common Idioms |

A good study plan requires actual planning. Not so profound, but there it is. Yet many applicants do themselves a big disservice by trying to rely on study splurges— lengthy cramming sessions with long periods of no studies in between—not a study plan so much as an attempt to squeeze the typical amount of (substantial) study effort into the smallest amount of time. Let’s explore the dangers of studying this way. |

In June of 2015, the Graduate Management Admission Council (creators and administrators of the GMAT) announced a handful of changes to the GMAT: the removal of the canceled score “C” from score reports, a shorter re-take window (16 days), and a few other minor changes.
