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 Indore has very comfortable environment and skilled faculty. My experience at Jamboree while training for my SAT and IELTS has been amazing.

I had taken GRE course from Jamboree last year and the coaching was great. The teachers were extremely supportive for both classes and doubt sessions. The course material is well constructed and very useful. They had provided the required course and admissions related counselling too.

I took GMAT classes from Jamboree, and in general, the workforce learning experience was great and adaptable, as indicated by my learning pace. My advisor, Aparna Shrivastava ma'am, was instrumental throughout my confirmation cycle and guided me in picking a decent college. Moreover, the essayist (Mr Maneet Singh) allocated for my application cycle was well disposed and affable, which helped me complete my application before time.
