The English section rewards pattern recognition more than grammar theory. Practice here covers error spotting, sentence improvement, fill in the blanks, cloze tests, para jumbles, reading comprehension, synonyms and antonyms, and idioms. Explanations name the specific rule being tested, so a mistake in one question tells you what to revise rather than leaving you guessing.
