FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: Subject-Verb Agreement in GMAT Sentence Correction


One of the most common tricks the test makers play on us in GMAT sentence correction is to get us to miss a lack of agreement between a subject and its verb. This may sound so fundamental to any language that it would be hard for us to miss. In many cases this is true.

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


Last week we shared advice on how to recognize and solve idiom-related issues in GMAT Sentence Correction questions. The creators of the GMAT have been decreasing their testing of idioms (the subject tends to put non-native speakers of English at a disadvantage) but we still advise that you learn as many idioms as possible. Therefore, here's a list of the most commonly tested ones.

FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: Verbe Tense in GMAT Sentence Correction


There are many questions on the GMAT relating to verb tense (though, as we've mentioned in the past, only six tenses are tested directly) . The use of tenses in English is one of the more complicated areas of English grammar for native speakers and non-native speakers alike. However, by familiarizing yourself with fundamental rules pertaining to the verb tense, you will be able to move through these questions with increased speed and accuracy.

FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: GMAT Study Tips: The Myth Of Study Splurging


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.

FROM Economist GMAT Tutor Blog: GMAT Rules | Limit Of 8 Retakes


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. But more than a year later, in November 2016, GMAC edited the announcement and added a new rule: You may now take the GMAT no more than eight times.
