Anything else? I've read the
MGMAT SC book sections many times. Fiction books could be good, I am looking for a more direct approach right now.
If you are reading the SC book and seeing little results, my guess is you are reading the book and one of two things is happening:
- You read it without fully understanding the topics
- You read it, understand it, but are unable to apply it
I had many issues with the verbal section (bullet point #2). One thing that helped me was attempting to apply proper written English in all aspects of life. Whether it was email (personal and professional), small talk with friends, etc, I would try and force myself to be aware of my though patters and my speech patterns. This helped create a better sense of awareness and through this awareness you will improve your verbal score.
The fiction reading list will also help here as when you read proper English it is easier to become familiar with the proper idioms as well as the overall form for sentence structure.
There is no "more direct approach", there is no "magic pill". Some people simply have a knack for proper written English while some people (like myself) do not.
