Need immediate help.

Thanks for quick reply. I have all Manhattan and all OG books. I have bought CR bible too. I,m tring to focus on verbal and quant both. At verbal i do 75% correct on CR but SC and RC killing me. I don't have the book gmat aristotle sc grail and i don't have time to order because shipping will take another week, so what to do?

When i should appear practice exam?

Try and see if you can also purchase Aristotle RC Sets 1 and 2 for practice in the Reading Comprehension department. This are very good sources of practice for questions of this type.

If you already have the Manhattan guides, then put a great deal of effort and time into the Manhattan SC guide (as already mentioned). The Manhattan RC guide is okay, but I personally prefer lots of question practice for RC preparation. Since your CR is decent, focus on SC and RC as much as possible.

I think that the Aristotle stuff is PDF format, right? If so, then "delivery" should be very quick, if not instantaneous. Plus, it might be easier to follow at your current verbal level.

Hi suraiyaa,

If you already know your strong/weak points, I'd say don't do a practice test until you know you've made some good progress on your weak sections. That means you already dedicated 3-5 days to each of those sections focusing ONLY on that section. Don't simply do a practice test for the sake of seeing where you stand.

Make progress first, then see where you stand.

There are both short and long term approaches to improving your RC.

I'm wondering as i have very short time should i study both GMATClub's Ultimate Grammar guide and Aristotle SC Grail? Which one would be better? I'm tring to focus on MGMAT Sc guide and slove OG at the same time. Do you think i need to study on those books too?

The Manhattan SC guide along with the OG would be your best option given how much time you have... I would also recommend postponing the GMAT to when you are ready....

The manhattan SC guide will take a lot of time to finish . It's worth it though .

However if you are running short of time I'd suggest you do the Aristotle sc grail followed by all the OG questions . The aristotle sc grail doesn't go in that much detail as the manhattan SC guide , but it's a really good book nevertheless

I have only 21 days. I like to appear gmat before 5th june and i got only one date 15th may. I don't need higher score, The school i would like to apply 500+ is ok, so i need 500+. All i understand i need to improve my SC. IS the Aristotle SC Grail is explanation of OG problems?

The best explanations for OG problems will come from the OG books themselves (the answers and explanations are located in the back). Another excellent source is GMATClub's Sentence Correction Question Directory, which has lots of questions and discussions.

But that might not be enough for you to reach your goal. And that's why so many of us are urging you to reread the Manhattan SC guidebook or use the Aristotle SC Grail. The guidebooks are there for you to acquire the conceptual understanding and skills to successfully answer the OG (as you probably already know). Don't worry about whether they specifically answer the OG questions. You have the OG for that!

At this point, the conversation has become somewhat repetitive. I doubt that you will get much more value out of this thread anymore. It's time for you to (1) review guidebooks and (2) use the OG.

Between the annihilating fierceness of personal ambition and those who clutter its path, there is only one possible mediator, and that is love.

Aristotle prep has this really nice e book called one minute explanation for all the OG SC questions , so you could try that out if the explanations in the OG are not clear to you
