Hello! This is my first post in this brilliant community.
This forum is priceless, I cant imagine how many success-stories from around the world are closely linked with this forum.
So I have one week in addition to the 60 days of the Study Guide. I am now on my 28th day of it. I have just finished working on Sentence Correction that took me enormous amount of time (I spent at least 3-4 hours per 40 SC questions just to review answer explanations). Sentence Correction is definitely my weakest part so I can feel huge progress after finishing working on it. But I feel that I am still not strong enough in SC to score well. I am considering taking few days break from the study plan to work more on SC with OG Verbal Review (and maybe with SC Grail) to reinforce my freshly obtained knowledge.
When I was working on SC questions from OG I've got around 80% right on first 60 SC questions, 50% right for the next 40 questions and 40% right on the last hardest questions. I spent average 90-100 seconds per question.
My target score for GMAT is 710.
The question is should I work more on SC or it will be better if I stick to the plan in order to be ready to work on mock exams sooner?


Thanks for this forum!
Vagz.

If you feel like you can do more work, then do it. I am a proponent of not taking practice exams until you are ready to do so. If you have weak areas, keep working on them.
