I am scoring almost perfect in RC and CR, however I am horrible at sentence correction.
I have the following books: the GMAT 11th edition, the princeton review 2006, Kaplan 2006, and finally the princeton verbal book (i downloaded somewhere).
What would be the most effective study I could do with the above material? (I have about 20 days before my exam, and about 1 hour to study every day :?: )

Your arsenal of books is sufficient to master SC....
What worked for me was a psychological thing... the mistakes i did, did not irritate me... don't know how to explain it clearly. :) I "enjoyed" making mistakes, because after making those mistakes i took a thourough examination of the sentence. Earlier the mistakes irritated me so much that i just looked at the sentence and said: "well ok, i would not make the same mistake again..."

For me, thorough and sincere examination of the sentence and enjoyment of attacking difficult sentences and not being afraid of the mistakes helped a lot...

Go through the stickies in the Verbal lessons forum. I personally found them very helpful.

Ok...now I need a favour from you. Can you please tell me your strategy/prep-material for CR? My RCs and SCs are fine but my CR skills need to improve.

Thoroughly agree. One learns best from his own mistakes. I went through the MGMAT SC online exercise and scored below 50% (something like 8 out of 25). In reviewing my answer chocies, I learned so much in that one sitting than any other SC studies I've since had.

BTW, get the mgmat SC book, it is the SC bible.

I will go ahead and buy the MGMAT SC book today and learn it all :)
For your question kripalkavi I will try to answer it in the best way possible.

At first CR was the part were I did the worst mistakes. I did the 50 questions in the Kaplan book and got like 25 wrong. For the CR all I do now is I go through a process of elimination, there is not one single CR were I won't do that. The problem with CR is that a lot of the answers seem right. So I eliminate the obvious ones and then I look more attentively at what I have left, usually the dumbest one is the answer, especially when it comes to inference questions.
I never read the princeton review section on CR so I don't know how to judge it. But if I have one advice it is process of elimination all the way and practice of course :) As if you did not know that already ;)
