HELP FOR SENTENCE CORRECTION!!! VERBAL 21-23

Question

Hi all,

I have been preparing my gmat for about a month now. Just took my second prep test today. Despite me working hard for 1 week on sentence correction my score is still at 550 with Q42 V23, similar to the first prep test.

I have tried manhattan SC guide but still my score remain stagnant. I am currently reading the manhattan guide for the 2nd time. May i ask is there any other way to improve my verbal score, especially on the sentence correction part. Also i have almost exhausted all my OG15 SC questions.

Please advise guys.

Hi renguard,

Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on their studies before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet. From what you describe, you're using a 'book-heavy' study approach; many Test Takers get 'stuck' at a particular scoring level when studying in this way, so that might also be a factor in your performance.

1) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) What is your goal score?

Hey renguard, The SC section is the easiest verbal section to make improvements on. Once you understand how to think and approach this question type, there are only so many ways you can be tested. Here at GMAT Pill we developed the 10 core frameworks which detail the 10 ways to approach GMAT sentence corrections. Here is a sample video detailing one of the core frameworks: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... stion/2184 Best of luck!

Hi renguard,

Looking at your scores (V23 Q42), it seems that you lacking the core skills needed to ace the GMAT (both in verbal and quant).

I feel that even through you have gone through the books, you haven’t been able to learn and assimilate the concepts and their application properly. I would say going through the books again doesn’t seem a very good idea at this stage. I am saying this because if that way of learning were to work for you, you would have grasped the concepts and their application well in the first go itself and it would have reflected in your mocks.

Books can teach you the concepts but do a very poor job of teaching you the application. I would like you to view some of the files from the links below 
1. Verb-ed and Verb-ing Modifiers  https://goo.gl/QLt3j6 
2. Like vs. As  https://goo.gl/UMRFzP 
3. Various Functions of 'As'  https://goo.gl/iLOvhl

We have 100+ such beautifully designed audio visual files in our course. To view more such content, just log in to your Free Trial  https://e-gmat.com/login/ . We believe that you learn the best when we engage your ability to read, your audio cortex, as well as your visual cortex. This enhances the student learning by almost 3X-4X times as compared to books.

Also, if you are using our course for your preparation, you won’t require any other resource other than the Official Guide. We offer the most comprehensive courses.

Lastly, do have a look at Anuj’s interview  https://goo.gl/oytYt2  and understand how he was able to score a 770 (V44–98 percentile) using the e-GMAT course (he also explains how he aced SC during the interview).

Do let me know in case you have any further queries. I’ll be happy to help you.

Regards,
