Some doubts in SC

Hi 12921,

In an earlier post, you noted that you were planning to take the GMAT at the end of July. Is that still your plan? If not, then when are you planning to take the Official GMAT?

SCs are 'technical' in nature (similar to how Geometry questions require knowledge of formulas), so you need to know the grammar/idiom rules really well (and be able to spot when they apply) to score higher in this category. Thankfully, you do not need to know every little rule to perform at a high level in this area, but if you are frequently choosing your final answer based on how it "sounds", then you are probably missing out on a number of 'gettable' SCs (and learning - or relearning - the major Grammar rules would likely be a good idea).

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) Over the last 3 months, how many hours have you typically studied each week?
2) What study materials have you used over the course of ALL of your studies? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
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?
