Sentence Correction Revision

by surya_basu Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:39 pm

SC:
1) After reading the first 9 chapters ( GMC-Idioms), it seems I have forgotten the mechanics of Chapter 1-8 (Parallelism, Subject Verb etc).
Should I start browsing the Chapters 1-8 (revising the notes that I had taken in my first read) and solving the OG problems again at the end of each Manhattan SC chapters ?
Or
Should I start scanning the Manhattan SC Flash cards and start solving and reviewing 5-10 random SC problems everyday from Official Guide. ( I have started following your analysis procedure mentioned in the beathegmat website.)
Let me know what you think.

Stacy Response on 3/23/10:
On SC, I would start by doing random blocks of questions while keeping your SC book and some blank flashcards handy. Every time you discover some rule that you forgot, look it up again in the book, re-learn it, and make a flashcard or two to help you study it.


________________________
As I understand from the above quote :
1.After the first iteration of reading and completing the Manhattan SC chapters; start solving random blocks of questions (Sources: GMAC Official Guide sources and Manhattan Inaction Problems).
2. Start Analysis of the solved Problems.
3. If I am missing any concept, look it up again in the book, re-learn it, and make a flashcard.
Should I make these flashcards like the flash card examples posted in the Manhattan Website ? . If not they please give me an example. Let me know.

Thanks,
Surya

Yes, the process you've summarized is correct.

If you like the way the flashcards are set up on the website, then yes, go ahead and make yours in a similar format. If you don't like the website flashcard format, then you are free to adapt in a way that works for your particular learning style. (For instance, if you want to put less - or more! - on each flashcard, you can do so.)
