Starting off with SC! All Ideas Welcome :)

by Domnu » Fri May 29, 2009 9:30 am
I just took a practice GMAT yesterday (GMATPrep) and didn't do so well on the sentence completion portion (8 wrong). Would anybody have ideas as to where I should start? Particularly, here are my characteristics:

- Verbal: 39
- CR: 1 wrong
- RC: 0 wrong
- SC: 9 wrong
- Overall score (with quant, where I made too many careless errors): 720

I have heard of the Manhattan Sentence Correction book. Is this a good idea when getting started off with SC? Or should I go for something else?

Thanks very much for your input!
Have you wondered how you could have found such a treasure? -T

Can someone explain what the breakdown of Verbal and Quant means? How do you arrive at "39" in this person's case. Thanks.
