Idioms from The Official Guide for GMAT Review 2015

by EduardoJ96 Fri Apr 17, 2015 6:12 pm

Hi Experts,

I would like to know if you have a list of the idoms used in the The Official Guide for GMAT Review 2015.

I found the following list, however it is not updated for the 2015 edition: http://grockit.com/blog/idiom-list/

Do you think this is a good way to choose the idioms to prioritize?

Thanks,
EJ

The idioms listed in our Sentence Correction Strategy Guide are all from problems used on official test questions in the past. In the 6th edition of our SC Guide, we've split the idioms into two groups: the most common ones are in the Idiom chapter (I believe it's chapter 9) and the rest are in an Appendix at the end of the book.

I wouldn't recommend memorizing everything in the appendix; rather, I would use the appendix as a reference if you miss an idiom and want to look up the correct usage. (I would memorize the ones in the main Idioms chapter, though.)
