How do I increase SC accuracy? Help!

Expert replies
by maxpain » Tue Apr 20, 2010 11:00 pm
Hi All,

I went through the Kaplan material for SC strategies a month back and attempted those strategies on OG 11th edition. My accuracy was in the range of 60% to 65%.

Panic Round 1 set in.

Post that, I read the Manhattan SC Guide, a gem of a book. Attempted the OG 12th edition and OG Verbal Review. My accuracy is now in the range of 80% - 85%.

Panic Round 2 has set in!! My GMAT is scheduled for 11th May.

I have always gone back and checked the explanations for the questions that I made mistakes in and have revised the corresponding topics. What baffles me is that my mistakes are all over the place. My mistakes cannot be clustered to a topic.

I check my accuracies against sets of 20 questions. Is that the right way to do it?

How do I up my game from here on. Do I go through Manhattan again or do I get more practice? 1000SC perhaps? I have exhausted the OG material.

Please advise!!! Anybody!

Thanks,
maxpain - now in extreme pain

What has helped me is just going through the Manhattan Guide multiple times. Also, I look up any grammar rules that I don't know. Rather than simply focusing on identifying the errors, if there is a topic that I am consistently missing, I attempt to learn everything I can about the grammar rules on that subject.

Make a custom set of notecards for sentence correction questions that you frequently get wrong. This is the best way to go

Thanks for the tip money9111....
But why so? Unreliable or not-GMAT like?
