I guess I will say this about idioms. They are confusing and a bit painful from a GMAT standpoint. The GMAT is pretty consistent with how it views idioms and also how it uses idioms. The research you will get from GMAT Prep companies includes this view about how the GMAT sees the world of idioms. You can and will find examples from reputable sources that use idioms in a way that is viewed incorrect by the GMAT - either because the usage is a bit different from a GMAT usage or because the usage is simply determined incorrect by the GMAT.
If you are struggling with idioms, your best bet is to study thoroughly the lists provided by the prep companies. When you find examples outside your GMAT study that contradict what you are learning, you can file away the difference as something of interest that will perhaps better help you remember the GMAT idiom usage. If you find usages within your study from GMAT sources that contradict the prep companies' lists, then you should investigate further.
