HELP ME PREPARE FOR GMAT [#permalink] New post   14 Apr 2023, 05:44
Hello!

I am finding the SC portion of the GMAT challenging to navigate. It's not that I'm struggling with the approach itself, but rather the method of studying. Currently, I am going through the All the Verbal guide by Manhattan topic by topic and then watching GMAT Ninja's YouTube video on that particular topic before trying to solve topic-wise questions. However, I'm discovering that this method is proving to be quite tough, as most questions require the application of multiple concepts.

I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how I could improve my strategy. Should I complete all the concepts before attempting the questions or should I find some other resource to help me with this section of the GMAT?

Hi nilzzblue.

Since there are many concepts that you need to know in order to master SC, you'll definitely get better results if you learn SC concepts before practicing.

Also, ideally, you'd learn concepts and then practice with questions that involve the concepts you just learned.

For some tips on how to proceed to master each GMAT Verbal topic, you could read this post.

A topic-wise approach is advisable, before you brace yourself to solve the challenging questions.
All the Best.

Try starting with Sub-verb agreement, then verb tenses and then move on to modifiers. These 3 will make a good working set to SC questions.

Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC to students. Memorizing commonly tested idioms could also be helpful. In case you're interested in working with a study buddy, there's a gmatclub thread you can check out/sign up to. Perhaps you can get some fresh insight into how to approach SC questions.
