Study, Study, Study. You need to learn grammar inside and out. There are plenty of free resources around the internet and plenty of good SC books around. The key with any of this is not to do more problems, but understand why you are getting the ones wrong that you currently are. Go over the work you have already gone over...

Hi Ritika,

I would recommend Manhattan Gmat SC book. It's probably the best SC book. It helped me improve my scores dramatically. I went from 620 to 710. And don't get dejected. Just keep track of your mistakes and master them. All the best!!

Hi Ritika,
Yes you can beat the GMAT with greatest score.
Adding additional point, What you have to do is should work with positive energy.
Do not share your score at negative people.
I believe that you can beat the GMAT with great score.

"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."
