section of the GMAT. The grammar lessons contained in the Sentence
Correction Bible are representative of the techniques covered
in PowerScore’s live courses and have consistently been proven
effective for thousands of our students.
The book features and explains a detailed methodology for attacking
all aspects of Sentence Correction questions, including recognizing
errors in parts of speech, the proper way to correct single and
multiple errors, strategies for determining possible errors, and
techniques for quickly eliminating answer choices as you solve the
questions. Entire chapters are devoted to potential errors in common
parts of speech.

the Sentence Correction Bible features over 140 GMAT Sentence
Correction questions in drills and problem sets in order to effectively

error types referenced above. The Sentence Correction questions
on the GMAT represent approximately one-third of your verbal score
and often intimidate test takers whose formal grammar training lapsed
in elementary or middle school. However, once you understand how
to efficiently approach each error type and deconstruct the sentence
presented, the solution to each question can be quickly discovered.
