More Sentence Correction Practice

by mucool Wed Apr 22, 2009 7:16 pm

I've finished the OG Orange and Purple books. I would still like to practice SC but just cant find enough credible sources of questions and answers. Can you suggest some?

This is the largest bank I've found, but am not quite sure about the quality of the source (and especially the answers/explanations).

If some are paid, I'm fine with that too - I'd just like more practice before D-Day1 :)

I've talked with a lot of people who feel the same way as you, and I always say the same thing: you really don't need more sources. The two OG's combined offer MORE than you need, honestly. What you need, instead, is a slower, more careful review of the content. I know that you can't just keep testing yourself on those actual questions, because you've already memorized some of the answers. But that's okay. Because I can guarantee you that there are plenty of things that you do not yet fully understand (if you had already truly mastered the material, you would KNOW that you don't need other books).

Basically, it breaks down like this: too many people think that they just need new problems, new problems, etc. On the contrary. You should probably slow down, invest in deeper review. Force yourself to fully articulate (out LOUD), what is wrong with each wrong answer choice for an SC problem, and why the right choice is right. There are plenty of printed, real questions for you to do this without ever running out of new stuff to learn/review/master.
