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.

 Concepts explained very well April 8, 2006
17 out of 21 found this review helpful
I am surprised that this book is not as popular as it should be. I was looking for a refresher Grammar book to explain the concepts, but English Grammar is too vast. This book explains the grammatical concepts that are tested on the GMAT very well. I recommend using this book as a supplement though. You want to get practice on questions from other books. This book does refer to the Official GMAT book indicating which sentence correction questions test certain concepts.
The Kaplan book is really lousy explaining the concepts. The Princeton review explains it better but this book is even more detailed.
 DO NOT BUY September 21, 2006

The most annoying of all in this book are the examples cited. This book claims to be edited, tested by people who scored 99 percentile on GMAT and still there is no originality! All the examples are cited off from the GMAT verbal workout or from GMAT review 11th edition. After each concept an exmaple is cited which we cannot attmpt as there are no choices available. The book goes on and on as to how to correct the sentences which is not the case in GMAT. We are not taking the test to correct it, we taking the test to pick the best of the options and to score it. In short, though this book is strong in concepts, I would not spend $16, rather would prefer to buy Kaplan Test book or GMAT Verbal workout, etc. Anyways you will endup buying books from GMAC for sure...
Fair Disclosure? August 20, 2006

I bought this book to practise more and liked that there was a seperate book for each GMAT section. But, I was shocked to see that there were no practise exercises in this book. This book (and the other book I bought in the series) refers to 2 different books for practise exercises!! If there is need for fair disclosure, it is now!! I now have to go through the pains of returning the 2 books!!

I have used a ton of GMAT prep books and in general, aside from the official guides produced by the makers of the GMAT, most of the other study guides are just plain horrible. On the other hand, this book is top notch. It breaks down all of the major areas on sentence correction in an easy to read format and cross references problems in the official guide to hone your skills.
Sentence correct was my greatest weakness on the GMAT. In 2001 I took the GMAT and scored a 65% percentile on the verbal portion and this past January I scored in the 89% percentile. My only regret is that I did not get this book soon enough. I purchased this book two weeks before the test. Two weeks was enough time for me to cover everything in the book (and I am in law school with a horrid class load) but I wish I had it a few weeks earlier to practice more.
Another plus to the book is there is a link and code that gives you access to some online materials that will give you additional practice.
I do recommend you get the Official Guides to supplement this book. Every chapter has problems but the chapters also refer to real problems in the Official Guides which is a blessing to address weak points and to improve your skills.
On a negative note the price was a bit high at $30 but it was money well spent and I would pay that much again if I needed to. The price did not effect my rating - it helped my score and in the end that is what matters.
Very helpful! January 25, 2006

I'd read on a GMAT blog that the Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction Guide was the most helpful book out there for S.C. problems, and I can easily see why it has gotten that reputation! Very clear and analytical, broke the problems down in a way that I haven't seen elsewhere (and I own some of the big books), I found it very useful.
