Review: GMAT Sentence Correction Test Bank for iPad and iPhone

Rating: 3 out 5 Stars

There are numerous apps for the iPad which have been built to help you in learning more. Since the launch of the iPad, we have seen a huge number of apps to hit the app store that have been designed in order to help us to improve our knowledge, whether it is English or language based or anything else. Now, there is a great app out there that will actually allow you to increase the amount you know about the structure of sentences and the way that the English language works. In terms of iPad apps out there for this kind of thing, this app has to be one of the best and it goes by the name of GMAT Sentence Correction Test Bank.

The idea of the app is that it will really expand your knowledge of writing and how to word sentences. It tackles a lot of issues with sentences such as grammar and much more. There are so many things packed into the app in terms of improving your knowledge on sentences and the way that it allows you to learn is extremely good. The app also allows you to figure things out for yourself to a certain extent, which is great.

Of course, one of the most important things with any iPad app is the design of the app and in a vast amount of cases; a bad design can be the reason that an app is not any use at all. This app is designed extremely well and as it is an app that has been made for educational purposes, there are no strong designs or heavy colors used which is absolutely perfect for the type of app that it is. However, although there are no colorful designs or anything over the top, the designers have still managed to make the app easy to use and they have made the instructions that are on screen extremely clear and easy to read.

When it comes to the features of the app, there are enough for what the app aims to do and there are some great ones that will really help you learn. One of the features is that the app will actually create a quiz for you. This is great as it actually allows you to simulate what actually taking a test question would be like and it really prepares you for the exam. As well as this, the app will really make your studying efficient as there are absolutely no distractions in the app to take away your attention and it is very focused and to the point.

One of the largest advantages to the app is that you will actually be able to use the app almost anywhere you are and at any time. This means that you can study at any time you like.
