This type of word choice issue is not one that the GMAT will test you on. There are many instances in which word choice usage differs from country to country. Consider:
I took the GMAT.
I wrote the GMAT.
I sat the GMAT.
I sat for the GMAT.
Each of these is perfectly correct! The first one is most common in the US, but less so around the world.

The GMAT used to be a very US-centric test, but has become much more international in recent years. As such, they are making an effort not to test word choice or idiom issues that would be regionally specific. More here: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog ... dioms-etc/

For what it's worth, the latter example is the more common US usage, but the former might be used elsewhere in the world. You won't be tested on this sort of thing on the GMAT, though.
