Guys, this is the easiest section in the verbal part of the GMAT. If you get your hold in the fundamentals, you can crack it very easily.
First, get a good grammar book. This is just for the warm up . Just devote 2 or 3 days for this book. Have a brief overview of the general rules in grammar and do some exercises. Don't overdo. This helps you to get back to basics, which we often forget.
Second, I suggest you get the MANHATTAN SENTENCE CORRECTION book. It has around 9 chapters, which discuss in detail the testing points of the SC 's in the GMAT. I bet you guys, this is the most refreshing book I 've got while prepping for GMAT. Read it n number of times, atleast once a day . Take a chapter and read it ...read it again.... Complete the book...again do it ..do it ...and do it.....Finally, you ll be a SC pro. Practice other material, viz Official Guide, Kaplan or any other material ( keeping the Manhattan Sentence Correction principles as base) . In this process, I suggest you take notes.Notes help you a lott .. It doesn't matter how many practice question you do, but what matters is the quality of the notes you take. This is because the same concepts are tested again and again and you tend to forget i them if you don't get a good hold of the concepts.
Practise, Practise, and Practise...Once again don't forget to take notes on the topics. Make flash cards or simple mnemonics and remember the most frequesntly tested topics.Moreover, spot the errors or appreciate your knowledge by reading editorials or any articles in magazines. This helps a great deal in boosting the confidence of your knowledge.
More to come............
