I have two book recommendations for you:

Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT - This book is an easy read and provides a good, basic overview of GMAT verbal. It's a good place to start if you are weak in Standard English
Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction Guide - Sentence Correction will likely be your most difficult section on the GMAT, since it tests grammar. This is the bible of SC guides.

It is also in your interest to download Spidey's SC Guide and Sahil's SC Notes--both of which are available in the Sentence Correction area of this forum. Be sure to download my GMAT flashcards in the GMAT in General forum as well.

I think that this is a good start for you. Anyone else have suggestions for rssread?

Best of luck!

My two cents:

- Manhattan SC,with the Official Guide and the Official Guide Verbal Review

By the way, note that the Manhattan Books do not have lots of questions, these books refer to the questions in the Official Guide, both the general review and the verbal review

If you run out of questions, you can always use those creepy 1000SCs

Manhattan GMAT is Awesome

I have been working through the Manhattan SC book. It's great at giving detailed explainations of the SC question types. I was particularly poor in Subject Verb Agreement and Past Perfect questions. I now feel like I have a better feel for these questions and the ability to improve in other areas.

I have used the math reviews from Manhattan as well. They are great companions to the OG 11th edition.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
