GMAT: Manhattan SC Tuesday, May 5 2009 

Chapter 1:

Sample question: Wrong.

Mistake: Careless

Lessons learned: Study the full sentence and understand the meaning well. Check out the singular/plural verbs.

Steps for SC:

1. Write down A B C D E in the paper (I write it horizontally for every question)

2. Read the sentence and note down the obvious erros

3. Check all the ans. choices vertically. ie, don’t reach each choice. Note down whats the different in each choice. 

Split each choice into half and comare one split of all five answer choices. Filter out and mark the condensers. 

Then, do the same with the next half. 

4. Comare the remaining answer choices by resplitting

5. Continue to split remaining condensers until you find the answer choice.

 

Eg. The students came to school without their mittens and so was unable to go to recess.

Students – plural; was – singular. So, it should be “were”

I’m going to write my GMAT on Feb 4th. Preparation is on its way. Never before I thought I will get a chance to do MBA. Doing MBA is my dream. My profession is also related to business administration. Studying in a reputed business school will definitely be valuable. Your life will change drastically after you’ve finished your MBA in a reputed business school. 

The first step in achieving this goal is to write GMAT and get a very good score. Ofcourse, GMAT is not the only thing which decided your admission into a top business school. But its very important.
