从以往对单个句子的考察开始，ETS也发现在实际商务语言中，对句群的掌握的准确度要超过对某一个单句的理解。例如上面例文中的142题，考察了应试者对于上下文意的掌握，142题前面提到了要发放奖金(approve a bonus for all employees)，在142题对应空格的后面说了要提薪(wage increase)。两句话是一种延续的关系，所以正确答案B in addition——另外最为符合。143题是考察了在句群中考生对于时态的掌握。这种能力比单句考察时态更加有效也更能准确反映应考者的能力。从上下文来推理，主管(supervisor)显然还不可能通知Carmille相关信息，从during the first week of January也可以看出这将会是在未来发生的事情，因此答案C will inform就顺理成章了。
