Hello!
Has anyone come across a GMAT problem that tests the Nominative/Accusative case ?
I am a not a native speaker so I am having a tough time understanding Nominative/Accusative case.

Is it worth spending 4-5 hrs(at least this is what it takes to thoroughly understand this)

I don't recall seeing one specifically, but the only distinctions you'd potentially have to worry about are in the pronouns he/him, she/her, and they/them (nominative/accusative).

Hi venkateswaransadras,

What GMAT materials have you been using (that mentioned these ideas)? GMAT SCs tend to focus on a handful of major grammar rules and a bunch of idioms, so the nominative and accusative cases aren't likely to be seen on Test Day.

Thank you very much rich and bill.

Rich,
I wasn't looking at any specific company's material. I was just brushing up my grammar before i could get started with the prep

"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."
