I have been preparing for GMAT for last couple of months and now know my weak areas, one of which is SC. To address this for concepts I am using MGMAT SC guide and SC bible. Can anyone suggest some good book/resource for practice questions? I already have the official verbal Guide and OG12 but I need more practice for SC.

Thanks in advance

It can be helpful to do some practice questions using an online program or test prep software, since that not only provides better diagnostic feedback than paper-based practice but also helps get you used to answering questions on a computer screen. There are lots of different software or online prep options available; one of them is Grockit, and Grockit does offer a free trial period in which to try out questions and see how you like it.

800score.com also has some SC tutorials and online sample questions for SC.

The tutorial isn't the greatest...but they have questions with timers, so that helps. Not sure if they have a free-trial though.

Honestly... the MGMAT guide and PowerScore Bible should be enough to master the SC section. What's your hit rate when you do problem sets?

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Is there a PowerScore Bible for SC as well? I've only heard of PowerScore Bible for CR...

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
