Product Description
Sentence Correction (1 of the 7 books in Manhattan GMATs Preparation Guide series) takes the guesswork out of grammar by presenting every major grammatical principle and minor grammatical point tested on the GMAT. Students learn to master the rules for correcting every GMAT sentence and to avoid relying solely on their (imperfect) ears. 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 GMATs computer adaptive format. Book also includes online access to 3 full-length Simulated Practice GMAT Exams at Manhattan GMATs website.

Very useful. January 2, 2009
This is the only book on SC that I have read so far - so, wont be able to compare it to any other book but from what I infer after going through all the GMAT forums online, this is the best book on the subject out there. It has very useful tips to spot the errors and to improve our thinking to align with the way GMAT expects us to.
On a side note, ever since I read this book, I started spotting mistakes in all the articles - pretty interesting to note how many grammatical mistakes are made in our daily colloquial speech !!!
Really helped me! December 19, 2008
As a non-native speaker, this book helped me a lot. Each chapter focuses on really important concepts. I loved the fact that they relate to the Officail guide questions. For example, after you study any chapter they tell which questions from (the Official Guide For GMAT Review and the Verbal Review) are related to this chapter. This makes the Review to the questions very efficient. I very much recommend this book.
Must have for Sentence Correction Success! November 12, 2008

The bible for GMAT sentence correction just got bigger, better and more streamlined!
This is definitely a must have for anyone who wants to do well on their GMAT verbal. The book is literally twice as big as the first edition and includes a lot of nuances and mini rules/exceptions not covered in the previous editions.
As usual, the book also comes with access to the 6 MGMAT CAT exams as well.
Very substantial improvement over the previous version November 6, 2008

The GMAT Sentence Correction is what massacres their most people's GMAT score. This book provides GMAT SC coverage better than any book I know.
The previous edition of MGMAT Sentence Correction was decent. But it only covered part of what is tested on the GMAT. This version has largely resolved that problem.
This book covers many areas such as "complex verbs that act as nouns" which is not covered in the previous version. The anonymous authors of this book are apparently high level experts of not only GMAT SC but also general grammar.
GMAT has changed over the years and it has become a substantially different test. The Official Guides no longer provides an accurate guidance of the type and the difficulty level of the actual GMAT questions. If you have taken GMAT Prep (provided free by providers of GMAT), then you will know what I mean.
I have purchased the previous MGMAT SC, PowerPrep SC, and this book. By a wide margin, this book provides the best coverage of both the range and the difficulty level of the real GMAT SC questions.
This is not a short book and you will need to master every inch of it to do well on the GMAT SC. I highly recommend it as the primary source for GMAT SC studies.
