What Strategy to take to master the SC Concept!!!

[anuj_sharma63]

Hi,

I had previously asked the same question but got no replies, so kindly HELP ME as i am not able to conclude what strategy to take?

Strategy 1: MGMAT SC - Say Comparison topic :
Learn concepts and then practice questions from OG and other sources to cement it conceptually.

Same for all other topics.
Only problem is at the end of all topics , Officials questions will get exhausted.

Strategy 2 : MGMAT SC -
Learn all the concepts in one go and then practice with OG's.
The only concern is that one need to refer back the book every time when you are unsure about the concept.

kindly help me as time is really short for me.

Go through all Thursdays with Ron videos on SC

Go through gmat prep forum posts and read all the explanations. But do not merely read them. You should focus on why each answer is wrong and what are the characteristics of the correct answer.

These two startegies should occupy you for sometime

I would prefer Strategy 1 ignoring the problem you mentioned. Isn't it our aim to go through OG effectively? If yes, then strategy 1 is best.

A mix. Learn chapter by chapter, and try a couple of OG problems to test out the concepts, but then return to the next chapter. Don't use up all the OG problems in this way.

As you advance through other chapters, you may also toss in some OG questions from earlier chapters - eg, once you're halfway through the book, try a mix of questions from all previous chapters. The further you get, the more your practice should consist of a mix rather than just one topic area.

Also, make sure that you're doing smaller sets of questions, maybe 5 at first, then maybe 10 for mixed question sets later on. Don't do 20+ problems in a set - all you're doing is wasting a bunch of questions. Do a small set, learn from it, then do another small set, etc. Periodically, you'll do a larger set or a practice test, but only periodically.

You might find this useful, particularly the "how to learn" section in the second half of the article:

Also, you said you already asked once but didn't get a response. Can you direct me to that post? I don't see any missed posts anywhere in this folder - just the ones from the last couple of days that I haven't gotten to yet.

If you posted in one of the content-area folders, it typically takes longer to get a response in those folders. If you are just asking a strategy question (not posting a specific problem), please feel free to post in this folder!
