Shedding dated practices/rules/structures/formats is important to stay relevant.
The #cwc kicks off today, with the finalists of the last World Cup, England and New Zealand, playing each other in the tournament opener. We remember the last World Cup final as one of the greatest one-day games ever played, but, one can’t help but feel that New Zealand were shortchanged by the ridiculous boundary-count rule that robbed them of the title they deserved. Thankfully, the dated rule has been done away with.
Talking about things that have been done away with, Sentence Correction will not be a part of the New #gmat Focus edition. And though GMAT students and tutors stand divided, this change will provide a (relatively more) level playing field for non-native English speakers. With the world surely and steadily becoming a global village, one particular language can’t and shouldn’t be significantly more important than the others. Although #gmat will continue to be administered in English, students will no longer be required to be English language experts as the #verbal section will now test students exclusively on the more reasoning-driven Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension questions. As much as I love Sentence Correction, I feel this is a welcome change. #gmat
