Of all the topics you must study to prepare for the GMAT, there are
two in particular that will have the greatest benefit after test day:
the AWA Essay section and Sentence Correction section. Effective writing is a vital part of business communication,
and the skills you acquire in preparation for these sections will
be important long after test day.
Sentence Correction questions make up about 14 of the 41 Verbal section questions.
The directions for these questions
look like this:
Directions:
The following questions consist of sentences that are either partly
or entirely underlined. Below each sentence are five versions of
the underlined portion of the sentence. Choice (A) is a copy of
the original version. The four other answer choices change the underlined
portion of the sentence. Read the sentence and the five choices
carefully and select the best version.
Choose answers according to the norms of standard written
English for grammar, word choice, and sentence construction.
Your selected answer should express the intended meaning of the original
sentence as clearly and precisely as possible, while
avoiding ambiguous, awkward, or unnecessarily wordy constructions.
