For Friends who have fair idea about the SC concepts
Step 1: Read a Chapter in Manhattan SC guide. Follow the same sequence as in the table of contents.
Step 2: [MOST IMPORTANT] For each practice question at the end of a chapter write detailed solution on a sheet of paper. Write down why the correct answer option is correct and why the incorrect answer options are incorrect. While eliminating incorrect answer options you can use your knowledge from other chapters.
Step 3: Once you are done with the OG questions compare your solution with OG solution. This is because each question in SC tests more than one concept. An incorrect option might be wrong due to more than one reason. By comparing with OG solution, you will come to on what basis OG eliminated that option.
Step 4: follow the above steps for each chapter. As you progress from one chapter to another, try to apply the concepts you had learnt in the previous chapters.
Note: Some of you might be lazy to write down the detailed solution. I strongly recommend you to write on a paper rather than mentally eliminating the answer options. The detailed solution would come in handy when comparing your solution with OG solution.
What are the benefits of this methodology?
1. Best utilization of each OG problem
2. By following the above methodology you are using THE MOST important strategy in verbal section: POE - Process of Elimination.
3. By reviewing all the 5 answer options you get a better understanding of concepts. You are also improving your application process.
Only drawback!!
Writing detailed solution for each OG problem is a time consuming process.
40 Minutes spent solving 10 questions using the above methodology is certainly better than solving 20-25 questions in 40 min. The most important thing in a study session is what you take-away from each study session.
Pls find the link to the complete article below. Pls give ur feedback. Your feedback is important to me and others who come across this.
