Material for Verbal

by bourneJ » Mon Jun 13, 2011 6:20 am
Hi,
I was wondering what material are recommended for practicing SC. I currently use OG, any other suggestions apart from that.
Online books/websites are preferable..
I have heard good things about Manhattan GMAT....any comments on that??
Secondly does it help to own the OG Verbal review.
Thanks

OG Verbal Review certainly helps for practice. Also Manhattan SC Guide is a good place to learn your SC concepts (atleast basics).

My question is after OG what is your analysis of where you need to improve? Remember that blind practice and "doing" books is not going to help by itself. Also try to solve as many GMATPrep questions as possible. They are the 2nd best source of authentic GMAT questions (after OG and the Verbal guide).

Arun,
Thanks for the reply. The biggest problem I have with SC is applying the concepts learned, its a hit or miss.
Correct me if i m wrong, doesnt the GMAT prep have only 15 questions per topic.
Thanks

Good point! 2 ways you can get GMATPrep questions:

1. There are people who have taken GMATPrep multiple times and put a document (I think the SC one contained about 177 questions). You should be able to search for it on BTG.

2. These questions are discussed on separate subforum on MGMAT: https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/gma ... l-f31.html. Another way is to use google to search on BTG itself.

HTH,
