SC-Verbal

Question

I am struggling with SC in Verbal. Kindly advice should I go for e-GMAT or Magoosh course?

Gmatisking · Answer

E-gmat and gmatwhiz are two really good courses for Sentene Correction.

Hi,

I have used both of them and found them useful. e-GMAT video lessons are great but lengthy, so it wastes too much time. Magoosh video lessons are short and have great explanations, hence I recommend the platform. You can also go through mprep strategy guides for sc.

Good luck!

Learning the fundamentals of SC is, of course, something to do, but it may also be worth tailoring your "approach" to solving as well.

Hi Rasalghul853,

When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different study materials that you might use (and depending on your personality and how you best learn, certain options might be more effective for you). Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Rasalghul853,

Before you start learning, it's important to understand what is actually tested using the questions. For example, before you start learning the concepts of SC, you need to understand that SC questions on GMAT test your ability to convey the right meaning without any ambiguity. So, it's important 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, the process to approach SC questions is to:
  Comprehend the original meaning of the sentence 
 Identify errors if any (both grammatical and meaning wise) 
 Eliminate answer choices which either are grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning

You can go through the recording below to understand the process in a better way.

And regarding the resource, check the free trials of the courses and then choose the course which simplifies the process and helps you learn it in a better way. And at the same time, choose a course which can provide you with the detailed solutions for the questions as most of your learning happens when you analyze the solution in-depth.

In GMATWhiz, we simplify the process into various steps. For example, while teaching you the step of reading a sentence, we teach you the intervals at which you need to break the sentence. Some of intervals at which you need to break the sentence are:

Conjunctions 
 Verbs/Verbals 
 Transition words

These are a few words at which you need to pause, comprehend the meaning till there and then move forward. This way, your understanding of the meaning will be a lot better.

So, I suggest you to check out the free trial of GMATWhiz and then take a decision. If you have any more queries regarding the course or the study strategy, you can get in touch with me using the below link.
