Hi src_saurav,

Since you're asking about idioms, it sounds like you're interested in improving your SC skills. While there are 100s of idiomatic phrases (as well as 'usage' and 'style' phrases) in the English language, the GMAT tends to use certain phrases more often than others.

Now, before you go about trying to memorize lots of different idioms, you have to make sure that your overall grammar knowledge and pattern-matching skills are solid. Most SCs are based on 2-4 grammar rules, and the good news is that you don't normally need to know all of the rules involved to get the correct answer.

How are you currently scoring on your practice CATs?
How are you performing on SCs overall?

I'll second this. Here is what GMAC has to say about the issue of idioms: https://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-blog-hub ... -exam.aspx

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
