Ron's study hall

by azam.faraz Mon Oct 27, 2014 10:33 am

HI,
Ron had suggested that we take each question from OG and take one topic at a time and try to eliminate answers based only on that topic..i have a question here...Are we not doing this already when we go through topics in the manhattan guides and answer the questions at the back of each topic?
He said this in his study hall(NEW WAY TO STUDY SENTENCE CORRECTION.)

The problem sets in the back of the book assign each problem to just one category - but each SC tests 2 to 5 different topics among the different answer choices.

So Ron is suggesting that you say, okay, today I'm going to do pronouns. I'm going to look through 10 questions but ONLY look for pronoung issues, nothing else. Tomorrow, I'm going to look through the same 10 for parallelism, nothing else. And so on.

You don't want to do this all the time, of course - sometimes, you want to practice doing the problems normally. (Or, do them all normally and save this exercise for afterwards, as a way to really drill down and recognize how they test different types of issues.
