Good material for SC??

Question

Hi all,

Apart from Manhattan's book. what would you recommend for SC practice? I've got only OG10, OG11, Manhattan and the 1000SC. 

I'm working on OG10. (Done with OG11). And then will continue with the 1000 set. 

The Manhattan book is good, but it's too brief. I am looking for some more books on Grammar.

i think the materials that you have are sufficient.. manhattan, OG and 1000 sets. Make sure you solve sc problems on the verbal forums also. goodluck.

Thanks trahul4. Really kind words of yours.

I've done 200 SC questions today, 100 from OG10 and 100 from 100SC. 

G-Day in 4 weeks time...

solidcolor · Answer

I tried over 110 questions today in SC1000. 75% correct answers. This is lower than I expect, given I've elaborated quite a lot in the last two days. 

Obviously my background is weak. I saw many NEW things in my mistakes. They are not all careless errors, a lot of them are concept errors. 

Hope it will get better soon. I've done 225 questions in this 1000 set (OG10 and OG11 are all done). 

Time spent for revision and see WHY I got them wrong is longer than I wish, but valuable.

A good drink in my fav. local cafe is calling... I'd better flee from this four walls for a while. Temporary saturated.

Thanks trahul4 for your encouraging words.

DTM · Answer

question for those of you that completed 100+ SC questions in one day.

what was your method?
did you break it up into smaller groups, and check answers?
did you check the answer after each question?
or did you do 100 in one sitting, and go through the answers afterwards?

I'd like to build up my SC endurance, while at the same time learning from my mistakes.

I would break them up - why do 100 if you aren't learning anything from the first 99? Break them up, time yourself, check your mistakes learn from them, and work another set WITH the lessons learned from the previous set. Study smart.

solidcolor · Answer

I work in block of 20 or 30 and come back to check the answers and revise. In this revision process I will be able to recall my reasoning stream and compare.

You can't remember very well after 40 or 50 questions.
