    In PrepScholar GMAT video "The 8 Most Common GMAT Idioms Mistakes", Erika John from PrepScholar GMAT goes over the idioms that test takers most frequently mix up in GMAT Sentence Correction idioms problems.
    With so many idioms GMAT test writers love to use, idioms on the Sentence Correction section are already challenging. But what is even more difficult is when test writers intentionally use similar idioms in answer choices in the hopes of confusing test takers. These GMAT idioms are often used interchangeably in real life, and may even have near identical definitions. They're incredibly easy to confuse, which is what makes these GMAT Sentence Correction idioms so difficult.
    While memorizing every single idiom out there is impossible, we're in luck: GMAT test writers tend to use the same few tricks over and over. If we memorize which idioms GMAT test writers like to mix up the most, we'll be prepared when a few of these GMAT idioms tricks show up on test day.
    In this video, we walk through each of the 8 GMAT idioms mix-ups we've identified as being particularly common and particularly tricky. For each, we identify the differences between the mixed up idioms. We also look at an example or two of how these GMAT idioms should and should not be used.

    Thanks so much! This was incredibly helpful. More than reviewing any of the Princeton reviews or practice tests I've had. Been so confused on all these idioms despite colloquially speaking these all the same all my life.

  • @paulinedaithanawong7341
    @paulinedaithanawong7341 4 года назад +1

    i have a question, so by your definition,
    "She did it herself" is wrong, but "She did it to herself" is correct?
    "He bought it himself" is wrong, but "He bought it for himself" is correct?
    I'm so confused

    • @breakdancingbusgo
      @breakdancingbusgo 4 года назад

      This is a late response to you, and you might already have figured it out, but I'd figure I'd answer just in case!
      "She did it herself" is correct. Herself here is an intensive pronoun, used to emphasize. "She did it to herself" would also be correct, but herself is a reflexive pronoun in this case, used to note the object of the sentence.
      Same thing for the next 2 examples. "He bought it himself" is correct, himself = intensive, and the other is reflexive.
      Hope this helps.
