GMAT Strategy

Hi all,

I've worked my way through Manhattan SC guide, and it's very comprehensive. Problem is that it assumes you have a grammatical foundation: knowing differences between gerunds, infinitives, nouns, pronouns, verbal phrases, blah blah blah.

So I'm working through an old English grammar book my mom has while I'm at home, but I only have a month left, and I still have to work through CR and general prep (est. time: 2 weeks for both areas).

Do you know of any websites/downloadable guides that goes through basic grammar? Parts of speech, parts of a sentence, the clause, etc. I am aware of https://www.beatthegmat.com/a/resources, but have tried a few of them and found them to be less structured and less focused on basic grammar than I'd like (Spidey's and Sahil's notes).

I know this book will help, but afraid that it'll take too much time to work through...just looking for enough "ground work" so I can better understand what's going on in Manhattan guide.

Thanks!

I would recommend Wren & Martin book for strengthening basic grammar. But you feel this book to be too comprehensive considering that you do not have enough time for your prep.

The other book "Doing Grammar" by Max Morenberg is considered to be a good book. This book was indeed suggested by a person in this forum who scored 780.

According to me, learning grammar is always going to be comprehensive. I hope these books will of some help to you.

Both excellent resources! I'm currently working on CR questions, so I've ordered the "Doing Grammar" from Amazon. I also ordered PowerScore's SC book, since I've enjoyed their CR book so much. That way, once they get here with Super-Free-Slow shipping, I should be ready to focus on SC again (having nailed down CR and RC).

Then, when I've reviewed, then I have that website as a reference page.

Thanks!

Glad that you have a good resource. Good luck!
