Please see my post in this forum about LSAT's. I personally believe they are an excellent way to prepare for GMAT verbal. Just take of lots of the LSAT's, and don't get discouraged if you find them to be tough. You'll improve if you take enough of them, and as a result, your ability to tackle GMAT reading comprehension and critical reasoning questions will be that much better.ajit.yadav wrote:i have been preaping for GMAT for a moth now .

As for sentence correction on the GMAT, I don't know what to say yet, as I'm trying to improve in that area myself.

Try GMATFix Verbal Flashcards or/and PowerScore Critical Reasoning Bible. Practice is important, I agree with pahir, but the right practice strategies are needed to get the best results.ajit.yadav wrote:i have been preaping for GMAT for a moth now .

1) If you don't already have it, consider getting the ManhattanGMAT SC guide and go through its lessons.
2) Get the gmatfix verbal flashcards (you can evaluate some for free); these cards are broken down into SC subtopics, with each topic giving you loads of examples and pinpointed lessons on how the topic is tested on the GMAT
3) Once you can go through the flashcards for a particular topic without error, use the Manhattan guide to find the specific questions in the OG that test the topic you're studying. Practice those questions and study the explanations carefully.
You can see my full debrief at www.tinyurl.com/gmatpost where I point out what worked from what didn't work for me.
Best of luck
