Hey everyone,
So back in December I took the GMAT, took 3-4 weeks off, and got back into study mode again in February (with the goal of re-taking the test in April). Now that I have been studying for about a month, I'm getting to the point with SC where I wonder if it would be more beneficial for my overall progress to spend a day (or more) picking random problems from OG 13 & V2 and start categorizing the underlined parts based on grammar and signals. For example, if one question has an underlined portion that says, "obese more due to the fact that...than overeating" - I could say "Hey, I noticed the word than which indicates comparison and it's actually in the parallel form more x than y." If I can more quickly notice these signals, then I don't have to waste time deciding between "due to the fact" and a word like" because" if that's a split.
Currently, I have been reviewing each SC topic briefly in my MGMAT SC book (I had already read all the chapters in the fall), answering 8-10 questions of each category a couple of days a week, and then spending Friday doing GMAT Prep verbal practice sets of 10. I also have created an excel error log spreadsheet that I review on Friday's.
What do you guys think? I just feel like I might not be picking up on each category's signals as quickly as I should be. Thanks.
