Hi guys,
I'm an Indian male, working in Nigeria in the training and Development sector for 4 years. I gave my GMAT in 2014 without preparing much ( Just finished 3 ogs and that's it.) I got a 700, but seeing other people's post I assume 700 Indian male is equivalent to a 650. So I want to push myself to achieve at least 760 if not more. I plan on giving my GMAT in August again and other than redoing the ogs, could you please guide me in my preparation? The thing I realised I was the weakest in was Sentence Correction. Being an avid reader of poetry, RC and CR came very easily to me (In my GMATprep tests I got almost all of them correct.) But in SC I just had a 20-30% accuracy. So any advice about what to do to take that accuracy to 100%?

Hi BratM92,
First off, a 700/Q50 is an outstanding score (it's just shy of the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business School that interests you. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools/Programs that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
Before you commit all of your energy to studying SC, you might find it worthwhile to pay for the Enhanced Score Report. While the data in the ESR is limited, it can provide some insights into how you performed when you took your last GMAT. It might be that you missed out on some CR and RC points and didn't realize it. All of that having been said, if SC really is your 'weak area', then there are a number of different resources that you can use to improve in that category.

Getting a score of 700 without much preparation is a big feat and if you prepare well, 760 is attainable and since you are from India, it would be a good idea to take that score as high as you can.
Although you have already figured out that SC is your weakest area, still I would recommend you to opt for an ESR of the test so that we can be sure.
SC sub sections tests certain fundamentals such as "SV agreement, parallelism, comparisons, modifiers and usage of certain" words, that can be learnt using a course. You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course.
My personal recommendation for you would be to go for a score guarantee course. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs.
