manhattan Sc guide is quite good for clearing the basics. Then you can start practicing questions from OG10 and OG12

Before you start with the Manhattan Sentence Correction guide, I recommend going through a general English grammar book that isn't focusing on the GMAT. This will give you the base you will need to understand the Manhattan Guide at a deeper level. If you just rely on the Manhattan Guide, you will see things on the GMAT that will trip you up. That's what happened to me anyway.

Abhi332, I was wondering why you specified OG10 and OG12, but skipped OG11.

See I'm going to say that PowerScore SC > MGMAT SC. But I do have both and I will be going through both again.

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
