1000SC And OG.................

by prachich1987 » Fri Dec 17, 2010 7:20 am
hi

I have 1000SC collection..I have heard that it's a collection of actual GMAT SCs.
Is that so?
I mean I am already done with OG
Do I need to go through 1000SC then?or it would be a repeat work?

Secondly I went through first few questions of 1000 SCs
& I found that for many questions the answer provided are wrong when you compare with OG answers.

Pls guide
Thanks!!!

I can find solutions on net.that's not the problem.

But my question is that if OG contains all the questions that 1000SC contains then there is to read it again taking into consideration the point that some of the answers provided are wrong.
If anyone has gone through both 1000SC & OG,plz let me know.
Thanks!

By name it appears, that there should be 1000 SC questions in the document you are mentioning (guessing as I don't have).
OG normally contains only 200(+-50) SC questions . So, you would still have 750+ more SC questions (even if they have the same questions -- however I am guessing that would be illegal, as OG shouldn't be copied).

1000 SC questions were quite controversial, but since its debut, most of the questions are either printed in the latest version of OGs or added to GMAT Prep.

You can actually find just about all of the 1000 SC questions in OG10 - OG12, and GMAT Prep.
Yep.

The best use of 1000SC is discussion of the finer points points of grammar on the internet forum of your choice (Beat The GMAT, clearly).

As a general rule, you get what you pay for with GMAT prep materials.
