Hi everybody,
I started my preparation couple of weeks back and am targetting a score somewhere around 700 after 3 to 4 months of preparation. I went through the quant formulae and verbal rules before writing a Kaplan practice test. I did not do any practice questions and wanted to write a diagnostic test to see where I stand. I got a score of 530(Q36, V22) and wanted to know your thoughts on this diagnostic test results. Are these really bad for the target score I have in mind.
I got abt. 40% correct in Sentence Correction, which is suppose to be the easiest part of the GMAT. I have always known that sentence correction was my weak link and am following Manhattan SC Review. Is there a better book to follow for SC? If Manhattan SC Review is a good book, is there a specific way that I should follow for this book? or should I pay $1000 and attend a GMAT coaching session? Is it worth the money? Do I need it, considering I am confident of a big improvement in quant(by doing self-study)?
For RC, I take about 5 mins just to read the passage before answering the first question? I feel I am trying to grasp a lot of details from the passage? Am I doing it wrong?
I felt I was really pressed for time in both quant and verbal. Is there a specific way to tackle this?
Any thoughts/tips shall be highly appreciated.
regards,
Sachin

Welcome to GMAT Club
One of the options to improve SC is to get Kaplan Verbal Foundations. Looking into the basics is the best option you have. MGMAT SC is as good as it gets. You can try the PowerScore SC but they are about the same in terms of material covered.
A course will probably do you no good since you need something very specific - coverage of grammar.

If you're confident you cld do self-study, I dont see a need for coaching classes...some people get better with classes and group studies, they tend to get the most out of classes....
