Hi,

I have just finished PP1. Q 47, V 28 :(. I made only one mistake in CR, two in RC, and huge number of mistakes in SC. Could you please suggest any prep materials for SC. I am non native English speaker.

thanks

how about starting with grammar basics. learn one concept a day for the first few days, then increase it to two concepts a day.

your first step should be to analyze your mistakes. See where you go wrong. Are most of your mistakes in Subject-verb agreement? Modifiers? Or is it that you did not do a lot of work in Grammar before taking the test.. these are only some of the questions that you need to explain to yourself, before you move on. The idea is first find out whats wrong and then think about fixing it.

If you do not have much time, I strongly recommend you to consider GMAX , the online prep course for GMAT.

Get a good grammar guide. I have Grammar Smart and would recommend it - good overview of English grammar rules.

You should be able to get Grammar Smart at any of the larger bookstores or online at https://www.amazon.com.

Hi,

ELEMENTS OF STYLE is a good grammar book. Then get a couple of materials on IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS that were posted on this website. Just search for them.

I have just attached the ELEMENTS OF STYLE. Go through it meticulously, practice more often and you certainly will improve your SC skills. :-D ?

Cheers,
Chuxiz.
