I am consistently scoring 650(Q49 V30)-680(Q49 V32) from day 1 of my preparation, Most of my wrong answers from SC(Around 10 questions incorrect), RC(4-6 questions incorrect), CR(0-2 questions incorrect). I am a non native English speaker, and I'd like to focus on SC, as timing is the bigger problem in RC it'd be fixed once I start doing SC correctly. Would my score go to 730+ if I fix my SC and RC? What would be the best course/books to focus only on SC from scratch. Any suggestions would be of great help, I tried e-gmat, it didn't help, moreover it reduced my score.

Hi linuschoudhury, since you mention SC as your specific area of concern, thought I would mention that our sentence correction book Sentence Correction Nirvana is perhaps the only book that offers a score improvement guarantee, and is especially designed for non-native speakers.
After reading the book twice (yes! it's an academic book, and so must be read twice in all seriousness, to reinforce the concepts), you will start looking forward to solving SC questions!
The book is available on Flipkart and Amazon.in. You might want to refer to these sites, to also read testimonials of how readers have benefited.
You can als go thru this post on how Soubhik, who scored V51 (overall score 780), vouches for our book.
If you want to sample a chapter before deciding to go ahead with our book, please PM me your mail-id (along with the chapter that you would like to sample) and I will be happy to send that chapter to you by mail. In addition, the entire Grammar section of the book is also available for free preview at pothi.

Hi linuschoudhury,
With Q49, you need V39/40 to score 730 on GMAT. So, you need to be good in all the three modules. Now coming to your questions of improving in SC, there are a couple of things you should keep in mind while solving. Let me help you here.
How to solve SC questions?
SC questions on GMAT test your ability to convey the meaning without any ambiguity. So, you have to approach them from a meaning stand-point. You might have often come across answer choices which are both grammatically correct and convey a logical meaning but are indeed incorrect because they do not convey the intended meaning. So, it's important that you identify the right meaning that the original sentence is trying to convey, identify the errors if any and then eliminate answer choices which either are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning.
How to approach RC questions?
Coming to RC, besides the comprehension skills required for SC, you need to master analytical skills and the ability to focus. You need to read the passage in an inferential manner and draw the right inferences. You have to be able to map the passage, understand the flow of the idea and derive the author's point. If you can do all these steps properly, then you can score well on RC passages.
I hope you have got an idea about what to focus on to improve your score on GMAT Verbal. It is all about the methodology and the logical approach. So, focus more on the process and once you do that perfectly, the results start coming to you.
