 - Must Have!!! If you are serious about GMATThis is the best GMAT SC perp book available in the market. In depth coverage of GMAT area though it might be basic for some. It takes each area in SC, for e.g modifiers, verbs, irregular verbs, pronouns, idioms etc and offers fundamentals and few examples. Use this book along with other available material and you are ready to crack SC exam. Don't buy 1. If you are looking for a grammer book. 2. If you are good in grammer and looking for question bank. Overall I will recommend for people who are out of touch with english grammer and want to tackle GMAT SC in minimum possible timeframe. Rating: - Great book!If you have been out of college for more than 5 years and your current job does not require you to write professional letters often, this is a great book to use for brushing up on good ole grammar! I found it to truly help my overall gmat verbal score(I was in the 85th percentile). It was good to review prior to jumping into the OG and Kaplan. If you need need a serious grammar review this book is for you. It is to be used as a learning tool not a strategy tool! Rating: - Great PurchaseGreat purchase for anyone trying to up their verbal score on the GMAT. I recently purchased the sentence correction bible and it definitely improved my basic grammar and sentence structure skills. I would also highly recommend the critical reasoning bible. Rating:  - good place to startIf you are looking to overhaul your grammar skills for the GMAT, this book is a good place to start. It walks you through the errors individually and gives a drill to reinforce recognition of the error in GMAT questions. However, the book's organization tells you what sort of error you are looking for (there are even titles of errors for each drill), so you would still need practice identifying the errors without such cues. The Official Guide would probably be useful AFTER this book, as questions in that are not marked in any way. Rating: - Very HelpfulWhat I liked most about this book over the others on the market is the depth it goes into the subject matter. Yes, it does cover some basic sentence grammar but I found this a helpful review since grammar was not taught formally at my school. If English is not your native language, I could see this being a great help/refresher for you. But this book goes deeper into the subject, allowing the reader to see the tricks and the pitfalls the GMAT tries to throw at you. The layout of the book makes it easy to use as a study guide. Unlike some other companies test-prep material, the questions are original with in-depth explanations and the book offers tips on strategy and typical errors throughout each section. While some other guides quote and cite extensively from the Official Guide, this book offers you a fresh perspective with unique practice questions. Overall it is a great book and one that I highly recommend. page 1 of 2
