Hey,

I took the gmat a couple months back and scored a 670, 78% Q, 73% Verbal. I am going to retake the test in hopes of crossing 700, but I know I wont be able to do that without doing better on the verbal.

My main problem is SC. I just cant do it. The rest of the verbal is pretty easy for me, but its the damm SC.

I have done the MGMAT book but to be honest I feel like there is too much to remember. I am a native English speaker with 26 years of terrible grammar to reverse it just seems like too much.

Does anybody have any other study aides, methods.....something, this SC is really starting to get annoying. It's like my brain has a block to learning grammar.

PLEASE HELP.

Thanks.

I know people must be tired of me posting this... but I can speak to the PowerScore SC Bible.

I went through the book in about a week, although it can be done faster. As complicated as SC can seem, this book really breaks it down for you from the perspective of the question writers. It's a very easy read and I highly recommend it!

A couple of times it had me literally laughing out loud at some explanations. btw.. I'm 27 and completely understand what you're going through!

Best of luck to you!
