Getting a new book with 5 days left before the exam?

by Osirus@VeritasPrep » Sat Jan 23, 2010 1:40 pm
Worth it or no? I have gone through the MGMAT Sentence Correction Guide 3 times, cover to cover and I am still having difficulty with sentence correction questions. The sad thing is English is my first language, so its actually inexcusable that I am having a hard time with this. Would it be a waste of my time to go get a new book for SC this late into the game?

You should clearly identify where you go wrong, take a couple of CATs and look where you're going wrong. When you're way far into the training process on the GMAT, it's useless to study the foundations AGAIN. So yet again, identify, specify, eliminate.

Definitely pinpoint the area(s) you're having trouble with. It surely can't be everything at this point, if you've gone through the MGMAT SC guide that many times... make notecards on the components you're struggling with, and take them everywhere you go! Every time you get some free time... just take them out and shuffle through them. I go through mine on the walk to the subway.. the subway train... on my smoke breaks at work... walking to the store... it seems to have helped me.

If you are going to get another book... get it soon so taht you're not learning new material the day before the exam. I suggest PowerScore SC Bible

Thanks for the feedback. I decided against getting a new book and will just focus on weaknesses.
