Does studying for the GMAT make you a better writer?

What d'you guys think?

I've become a lot more aware of grammatical mistakes in people's writing, especially the writing of non-professional writers such as bloggers. I find that parallel construction is often not adhered to for instance. I don't necessarily know whether (NB: before the GMAT I probably would have written whether or not, but that's redundant!) following GMAT's grammar rules necessarily makes us better writers, but it's definitely something to think about.

Indeed, true. You become a better at writing (& reading, analysing as well) studying for GMAT.

I'd like to say that I've become a better RECOGNIZER than writer! hahaha.. I type too fast for me to be able to think about how to grammatically fix my errors. I know there have been a ton in these couple of sentences that I've just written!

I specifically named my blog = Ellipsing My Way...to Business School just so that I wouldn't have to worry about anyone mentioning my grammatical errors!
