Product Description

Sentence Correction (1 of the 8 books in Manhattan GMAT's Preparation Guide series) provides a highly organized and structured approach to the variety of questions in this verbal content area. Students are presented with every major grammatical principle and minor grammatical point tested on the GMAT.

The book offers a unique balance between two competing emphases: test-taking strategies and in-depth content understanding. Practice problem sets build specific foundational skills in each topic and include the most advanced content that many other prep books ignore. As the average GMAT score required to gain admission to top b-schools continues to rise, this guide provides test takers with the depth and volume of advanced material essential for succeeding on the GMAT's computer adaptive format. Book also includes online access to 6 full-length Simulated Practice GMAT Exams at Manhattan GMAT's website.

From the Back Cover
What Students Are Saying: "The Sentence Correction Guide has great summaries of the topics and strong examples to strengthen the lessons. I consider the guide a great review of grammatical knowledge tested on the GMAT." "The 7 Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides were invaluable. The guides were well organized and easily understandable for students at all levels. They imposed a lot of discipline, forcing me to study the topics in an organized way. The study skill sections were also helpful for additional practice before tackling actual GMAT problem types."

About the Author
Manhattan GMAT’s 7 preparation guides were developed by Manhattan GMAT’s talented staff of real teachers, all of whom have scored in the 99th percentile on the official GMAT. As the company focuses solely on the GMAT (no other tests), it continually updates the guides to reflect the GMAT's most current trends. Questions are refined and strategies enhanced, blending the academic and test-taking skills that have been essential to the success of Manhattan GMAT students around the world. The nation’s largest GMAT-exclusive preparation provider, Manhattan GMAT was founded by Zeke Vanderhoek. A Yale graduate, Zeke taught as a member of Teach for America at a New York City public junior-high school, earned a Masters in Philosophy & Education from Columbia University’s Teachers College, and supplemented his day-job by tutoring individuals in various subjects at all educational levels. Word-of-mouth referrals soon brought in a remarkably high number of GMAT test-takers, and thus Manhattan GMAT and its prep guides were born.

Customer Reviews

worth the money
Really good book. all the concepts clearly explained. I think its better to read this book once you have covered at least one other book like princeton, kaplan etc. (the gmat guides).

The Best Sentence Correction
Simply, it is the best GMAT Sentence Correction among those of the Princeton Review, Kaplan, Arco, Nova, and Veritas Prep. Just buy this SC and the GMAT official guide, then you are set.

Great book with some flaws
This is the greatest book explaining all underlying rules for GMAT Sentence Correction among the books I used to prepare for GMAT. It provides very in-depth but easy-to-understand explanations for almost all aspects of English tested on GMAT.
The only reason why I was slightly disappointed with this product was examples and problem sets. It looks like they were not proof-read and thus they are inconsistent with the grammar rules described in the corresponding chapter.
So my advice would be - buy this book, use it as your primary grammar guide, but don't be too much concerned with the problem sets and explanations on the correct answers.
