wow....Very useful indeed. Phasing out of IDIOMS is a welcome move.

Thanks for the post Crick..
Phasing out of idioms is good but having 2 or more grammatically correct answers is gonna be the pain in life!!

There will be more from MGMAT on Monday :) ... Lets hope we get more clarity on this.

When GMAC talks about getting rid of idioms, I feel we would not see questions with idioms such as "making do", "even as" ; we can still see questions that rely on prepositional usages. ( I have seen the word idiom used pretty loosely in many posts, including mine :) ).
