Hey Guys,

My current accuracy on the SC is about 70%. I have been preparing for the past one month and have gone through all the concepts from the Manhattan GMAT SC guide and finished the SC part from the OG as well. However while picking the the answers I'm never 100% sure of the answer choice. This makes me feel that I am not strong with the concepts but then I have re-read the concepts many times. Now I am not sure if I should just practice SC questions and get better at it or read the concepts 'again' :sad:

Would appreciate any suggestions from you on how to get through the SC with higher accuracy.

Regards,

I dont think re reading the concepts will help. Practice as much as possible. the thing that has helped me most while practicing sc is that i wrote down the exact reason why i eliminated all the other options, for each and every question. never go by what sounds right or wrong. write down the exact reasons for each and every options and you will see your accuracy jump up.

Did you use error log to keep track of your activities? Look into it and you could know what your weeknesses are. Always try to take note, especially the concept from the question that you took incorrect. This will help you much

Hi Amerendra, since SC is your 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.

See here how Mohit, who scored 750 on GMAT, 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.
