Study, Study, Study. You need to learn grammar inside and out. There are plenty of free resources around the internet and plenty of good SC books around. The key with any of this is not to do more problems, but understand why you are getting the ones wrong that you currently are. Go over the work you have already gone over...

Hi Ritika,

I would recommend Manhattan Gmat SC book. It's probably the best SC book. It helped me improve my scores dramatically. I went from 620 to 710. And don't get dejected. Just keep track of your mistakes and master them. All the best!!

Hi Ritika,
Yes you can beat the GMAT with greatest score.
Adding additional point, What you have to do is should work with positive energy.
Do not share your score at negative people.
I believe that you can beat the GMAT with great score.

Just read your experience. I have to say only one sentence - DON'T GIVE UP. Keep trying.

Good luck
