First up congrats on a great score and best of luck for the apps!

U've mentioned something called SC Grail in your post...also RC 99...haven't really come across these names earlier....can you pls do a brief review of these 2 books

thanks

I second his request..It would also be great if you could share the stuff [SC Grail & RC 99] since many havent heard about it !

Had done a review of these 2 books on a different forum....am copy pasting the same below:

Saw these two books mentioned on a some forum.....did a google search and found a soft copy of the SC Grail on scribd or esnips one of those sites....liked the book a lot so then bought the RC 99 book from their website

SC Grail - this book has 3 sections

1) BAsic grammarreview - gives a brief overview of grammatical concepts such as parts of speech, etc.

2) Error types - pretty much the same errors as found in any other book but explained very crisply in bullet point format

3) More like a dos and dont's - when to use if or whether, when to use will or would, etc.

The best part about this book is that it is very crisp and to the point. At times I found Manhattan SC gets a bit too detailed which is not the case with this book..no complicated grammar concepts.....also the 3rd part is very useful as it summarises pretty much all the traps that are there on the GMAT. Not too mention it has one of the best idiom lists i have come across including correct and incorrect usages examples.....the only thing missing is practice questions which this book doesn't have but it does give you links to OG questions for each concept it explains

RC 99 - One problem that I had with most RC practice passages (including some in the OGs) is that they ask u too many questions; sometimes as many as 5,6,7 questions per passage.....whereas on the GMAT u will most likely only get 3 questions per passage.....I got 3 passages with 3 questions each and 1 passage with 4 questions.....now to answer 6-7 questions one has to read the passage in much more detail than to answer 3-4 questions....so practicing from these passages kind of ruins your strategy....plus there aren't too many good passages available for practice anyway

The best thing I liked about RC 99 book is that it only gives you an average of 3 questions per passage.....at the most some passages have 4 questions....the passages are graded across 3 difficulty levels of 33 passages each and pretty much cover every subject area tested on the GMAT....if u do these 99 passages I don't think u'll need any more practice for RC

Overall I found these 2 books to be very representative of the GMAt and would suggest you guys go through the same.....just do a google search and u'll probably find soft copies somewhere or just pm me

also go through their website - www aristotleprep com. It is a very unimpressive website but has some very useful content for Free download; I specially liked the document on tenses that they had put up which is as detailed a document as any that I have come across

Cheers!

Wow, I got hammered on my first GMAT prep yesterday, I missed a majority of my RC questions. You are most definitely right about how different the RC passages are from the ones in OG . GMAT RCs are not harder though but your strategy is hurt when you are used to answering 6 to 7 plus questions per passage. I couldn't agree more with you, this RC99 material is a Godsend! Thank you
