Hi,
I am planning to give GMAT in August 2021 and I am currently struggling in verbal section, especially SC. Can anyone suggest strategy to tackle the problem. Also, can anyone please suggest any verbal course.

My suggestion for SC would be to have a multi prong approach. You can do two things for sentence correction:
1. Learn grammar rules and memorize them. I frankly did that. I’ve memorized the subjunctive rules, verbs that are used with infinitive and verbs that are used with gerund… these are a requirement for you to be able to make a judgment call which answer choice is correct and which one is wrong.
2. Train your ear. This is a helpful tool to be able to spot mistakes quickly and save time on sentence correction questions. For this purpose, I spent several months reading English fiction. Not just reading news or some funky articles But spending a couple hours each night reading English books. I called it GMAT fiction And you can find my post about it.
You can also probably get a copy of the GMAT Club’s grammar book. That should have a collection of all the relevant rules. It does not have any strategies for approaching SC questions but it has a lot of the basic rules.
As to the course, I don’t know anything specific to the sentence correction but I think e-GMAT and EMPowerGMAT both half solid sentence correction products.

Hi VIRAAT,
In a prior post, you mentioned that you had taken the At-home GMAT twice last year. If you have been studying for a lengthy period of time, but your Scores have gotten 'stuck', then it's possible that you developed some 'bad habits' during your earlier studies that are keeping you from scoring higher. 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) On what dates did you take your Official GMATs and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
2) How long have you studied in total? Over the last three months, how many hours did you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
4) 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:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
