Preparing for SC

Expert replies

Hi Everyone,

I want your guidance, as how should I approach preparing for SC. I have completed Aristotle SC but still not able to recognize the pattern on how to tackle a SC question. Sometimes while tackling a question which contains multiple errors; I land up with choices very close and get the answer wrong.

I am literary very confused and do not know how to proceed. I have very less time for my exam.

Waiting for your guidance.

Thanks,

ABHIJIT

Hi,

I say you go through the MGMAT SC once. Also you have to practice questions regularly to understand traps and regular GMAT question types. I would also suggest you to check this below:

The forum is open to help you anytime. Just try solving problems on your own.


All the best!
You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

I do not favor the way that you say, "contains multiple errors."

Except for misplaced modifiers, which are self-evident, I never refer to something in the original sentence as an "error." It is a "possible error" and it is only helpful if you find that there are options in the answer choices. Then this location becomes a "decision point" and it is your job to determine which of the options is correct.

Many years ago when I started working with the GMAT, I would miss about 4 out of 14 sentence correction questions. This was a problem because I did not miss any CR or RC questions and so sentence correction was holding me back. The reason that I missed these questions was that I had the wrong approach. Now that I have the right approach I rarely miss and SC question any longer.

Here are two things to do:

1) "Slash and Burn" is the Veritas Prep strategy of eliminating the clutter from a sentence so that you can focus on what is important.

You should practice ignoring three things: Extra clauses that have nothing to do with the underlined portion; prepositions of all types; modifiers - UNLESS those modifiers are misplaced.


2) Identify decision points - which are simply differences in the answer choices - and try to match these with the "decision makers." A Decision maker is the portion of the sentence that tells you which option for the decision point is correct. For a singular/ plural verb decision point, the subject will be the "decision maker."

Sentence correction is primarily a matter of focus and if you can focus on the correct things - primarily decision points and decision makers - and if you can ignore the correct things - extra clauses, prepositions, and correctly placed modifiers - then you will be able to have a high degree of accuracy and efficiency.

Here are a couple of articles to help you think about sentence correction.
