Manhattan GMAT

[cmugeria]

Is Manhattan GMAT planning on releasing any more guides esp. the Sentence correction one? The SC on the real thing has really convoluted SC questions and studying the MG guide for sentence correction will only get you past GMAT Prep and Official guides.

The MGMAT SC guide has gotten me to 99th percentile on the real test. :)

I agree that in the last year or so, the official test has stepped up its disguises on SC - meaning, the "splits" (or differences in the answers) are more complicated and require more work to parse out. The actual grammar hasn't changed though - the rules themselves are the same, and what they test is still the same. They're just hiding it better than they used to. So we still need to know that content and that content is already in the book...

We are always researching and updating our stuff, and we are working on the next generation of our guides (as we have been since the day the last generation was published!) but that's still a ways out. I don't even have / know of a particular deadline or publishing date goal.

Hi Stacey,

Thanks for the reply. I agree with you that studying MGMAT SC correction is still good. Congratulations on achieving the 99% percentile on verbal, however how recent was that? Like you said the test makers have become better in disguising the questions on the real thing. The OG questions are nowhere close to the real thing.

Well thanks again for the reply!

This post made me sad.

Some of the OG and GMATPrep questions are close, but not all (or even most) - they're basically changing the proportion in a certain direction on the real test. So you do have examples out there to study - you just have to seek them out, and there aren't as many as we would like, unfortunately. :(
