I have seen OAs with phrases having "such factors as"...

so, you cant just eliminate a sentence only ob the basis of usage "such factors as"

Such as ...if used for indicating examples is correct

Hi,

Factors such as

Such factors as

Both have been seen in correct OAs ( "Such factors as " is more popular on GMAT)

I treat both of them as same. But, I would really like to know if they are different.

"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."
