I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but this question pertains to SC only.

So far I have the OG13 and the Verbal 2nd edition books, which combine to approximately 250 questions.

Are there any other material to practice from that has actual questions or a similar format?

You might want to check out the Sentence Correction books from Veritas, Manhattan GMAT, and PowerScore. These are all available at Amazon.com.

Good luck!

Are these books more of a strategy guide? I'm looking for practice questions since I already have the sentence correction strategy guide from Manhattan GMAT. Do you think it's necessary to purchase additional strategy guides? Thanks.

Each Veritas book has about 100 practice problems as well as strategy tips - might be your best bet.

Good luck!

The PowerScore Sentence Correction Bible does have problem sets at the end of most chapters. Check it out on Amazon.com - you can use the LOOK INSIDE! feature to preview the book.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

"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."
