GMAT Prepositions List: Most common preposition pairs
In the Sentence Correction (SC) portion of the GMAT exam, you should not be spending more than an average of 40 seconds per question. To get to this speed level while maintaining a high accuracy rate, you need to be able to identify the errors in the answer options fast.
One of the most common rules that are tested on the GMAT is ‘Preposition mismatch’. In the English language, there are preposition pairs – it means that a word will take only one preposition. For example, the verb ‘encourage’ takes only the preposition ‘to’; the preposition pair is ‘encourage – to’. My teacher encouraged me to participate in the Math Olympiad. If we use any other preposition with ‘encourage’, it’s wrong.
There are thousands of such preposition pairs in the English language. However, the GMAT tests your knowledge about a limited number of these pairs.
We, at Jamboree, have been researching the GMAT exam for the last 30 years and have put together GMAT free resources. We have compiled a list of preposition pairs that are most commonly tested on the GMAT. If you are thorough with this list, you will be able to identify and eliminate the answer options in GMAT Sentence Correction which do not have the right preposition pairs.
Jamboree has a very hands on and rigorous, yet student-friendly approach to GMAT prep. Intensive classroom sessions in small batches are tailor made to provide individual attention to every student, while the faculty helps you identify and work on your personal strengths and weaknesses. Nivesh Sir (Quant professor for GMAT and GRE) invests in not only his own subject, but the overall preparation that the GMAT warrants. I would recommend Jamboree to students looking for an optimal GMAT preparation.

Firstly, if you are going through gre preparation I suggest you guys to have a mentor to guide you. Not everyone has that opportunity, so you have to choose a place to learn everything in an order. Secondly, I suggest you to have GRE coaching in jamboree because I do pursue it here and felt very good by the various techniques and methods they follow to teach the students. I compared myself to guys who prepare by themselves or whatever and came to a conclusion that I perform very well than them. So I suggest you to have a demo at JAMBOREE and decide to pursue your GRE coaching.

Jamboree has helped me tremendously in improving my performance in the SAT test. The teachers aided me through the process of acquiring the skills required for the test and encouraged me to give my best without stressing out too much. The flexibility of the mock tests schedule allowed me to prepare for the test without having to miss school. It has been a rewarding experience and I would recommend Jamboree to anyone aiming for excellence!

Jamboree is undoubtedly one of the best institute for both GMAT preparation and Admission councelling. The faculty and staff members are very supportive. Faculty members give personal attention to each and every student. Shreyas sir, verbal instructor, is very helpful to guide his students at every point and he always has points to improve the score no matter how much you score in mocks or actual examination. The admission process is very systematic and guides students at every stage. Both Aparna madam, my councellor, and Chaya madam, my writer, were very supportive and proactive to clear all my queries. I found admission process to be very helpful at every stage from shortlisting of Universities/programs to VISA councelling.I received multiple admit offers from US and Canadian universities, guidance from Aparna madam played an important role in making this possible.

Hi, I have taken coaching for GRE at Jamboree Begumpet in may 2018 in their fastrack program and have given the exam in july 2018 with a score of 326.(Q-169, V-157) There are two things i liked very much about jamboree...one is the student teacher ratio, giving individual attention to every student, helping us analyze our strengths, weaknesses and the areas we should be working on. Their full length mock tests, materials, sectional tests guide us in the right direction. The faculty are dedicated, experienced and accessible any day anytime. The other thing is their unique strategies for Verbal section which would help us solve a question of vocab like any other question on logic without having actually to memorize a lot of words.
