How to Correct Sentences___________________
Sentence Correction (SC) questions make up slightly more than a third of the Verbal questions on the
GMAT. Each SC question has two basic parts:
•
A sentence with an underlined portion.
•
Five different options for replacing the underlined portion. The first option is
always identical to the original underlined portion.
When beginning their GMAT preparation, students often tell us that they chose an SC answer choice
because it “just sounds right.” However, Sentence Correction is not about writing style or what sounds
right: it is about correct usage, otherwise known as grammar—American English grammar, to be spe
cific. It does not matter whether you know the technical name of each grammar rule. Rather, you have
to know how to apply these rules in context and under exam pressure.
