You may be interested in our SC Pill program for maximum improvement in as little time as possible.

SC is important because it's all about meaning and sentence structure. If you can better understand sentence structure -- it will help you read CR and RC passages faster. This is important for timing -- and it all starts with SC.

The good news is that SC is also the easiest part to improve --- but you'll need the right approach.

Hi there,

I must say that I can help you on this query.

If you can't mull over theory or rules of SC, then pick up GMATPrep questions PDF, start solving the questions under timed conditions, and google your queries.

While googling queries check the best explanation on internet for a particular question. Most probably the best explanation you will encounter will be from RON(Manhattan/God of SC).

Note the types of questions which come over and over, major questions would be from ||ism and modifiers and verb consistency.

GMATPrep PDF (SC) has some 600 questions.

I did approx 370 questions from that document in last 15 days before exam, and yes it contributed to me.

Being a non-native, I can advise only above to you.

Lastly, MEANING is more important than grammar structure of the sentence.

FIRST= understand the meaning
SECOND=understand the structure
THIRD=Identify the errors

Hope that helps

Do not be discouraged. 26 days is enough time for you to master SC (btw, i also have my exam in 26 days, so i hope it is

). Till recently is was also struggling with SC. I would recommend you to focus more on the rules and understanding the meaning , instead of just doing questions. Get a good book (if you want) like Manhattan SC or Powerscore. I know just one month is left but it will be worth is. Or go through the book again if you already have one. I am sure you can accomplish it within 10 days if you work hard. For practice, official questions are the best(ofcourse) or there are many on this forumn. Best of luck!!!! :-D Kudofy me if you find it helpful.
