Average Time to Finish MGMAT Sentence Correction

[atharshiraz]

One would like to know how long it usually takes to finish the MGMAT SC Study Guide? With the Questions and exercises from the Verbal and Official Guide? For people who have near native command of the language.

Perhaps it would be useful to have a survey or polling of responses as to how long it took other students to finish the Setence Correction GMAT Strategy Guide by Manhattan GMAT?

One knows that one would find it useful for one's own studying.

Hi atharshiraz,

This will vary quite a lot, depending on the ability of a person. I can tell you that I have read it about 6 times already and each time I read it, I figure something else out.

That does not mean you will need to read it that many times as well but my point is that it will totally depend on your ability. Taking polls will give you an average but in order for that number to make any sense, it will have to correlate with the scores people have achieved. One can probably read the whole book in 5 hours but still get every SC wrong.

My suggestion is to start reading if you have not already and take your time with it. Make sure you understand every term and look up the glossary if you don't. Do the general section first and then move on to the advanced.

Regards

Sunil

I agree with Sunil - an average is not all that useful to each individual who is studying from the book.

As a general rule, if the material in a particular chapter makes total sense, go through it more quickly - but then test yourself at the end of the chapter to make sure you really know what you're talking about. If not, you're going to have to go back over it again, making flashcards and taking notes.

If the material in a particular chapter is difficult, take your time, make flashcards as you go, look things up on the forums or post questions on the forums to get clarification on tougher principles, etc.

Basically, take the time *you* need based on your own strengths and weaknesses!
