On page 6 and 7 of Kaplan 2007 Edition, there is an advice that suggests to use a grid to mark eliminated answer choice and be able glance choices still running. However, I can't understand ehat that means and how it helps. Your help is appreciated in this matter. Thank you.
Drawing a grid is very helpful when taking the GMAT. I'm not sure what the context is for Kaplan's advice, but here's my advice regarding grids:
This is what worked for me: when you start each section of the GMAT, take a few seconds at the very beginning to draw a grid on the side of your page with five columns and about forty rows. As you go through each question, use the grid to cross off answers that you know are incorrect. Tracking your answer choices in this manner is helpful because it helps you (1) identify the potential answers you have left, and (2) helps ensure that you don't accidentally choose the wrong answer choice in the computer--this is the worst kind of careless mistake.
Grids can also be really helpful during your practice--take some time to check out the resources available on
https://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/, and see some of the posts featured there regarding grids.
Best of luck!
