Pls refer to the above post. I've received good feedback for this post and it works for most of students.
Methodology:
For Friends who have just started with SC preparation:
If you are in the initial stages of SC preparation, then learning and practicing topic-wise is the best way to start, just as mastering the individual nuances of swimming or any other game.
Step 1: Read a Chapter in Manhattan SC guide. Follow the same sequence as in the table of contents.
Step 2: Attempt the OG questions given at the end of each chapter. While attempting the question, try to find out the correct answer option by using the concepts you learnt in that chapter. Try to avoid using your knowledge from previous chapters. What I'm asking you to do is "TO HIT THE BULL's EYE". Don't worry if you get a few wrong. Don't read detailed solution given in OG right now. There is a reason behind this advice. If you have Verbal review book attempt those questions too.
Step 3: Follow the above two steps till chapter 10. Then follow the steps mentioned below for test takers who have already been preparing for GMAT for a month or so.
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.
Try this for a few days and I'm sure your accuracy will go up!
