If SC is ur weakness,this is the best book for you!:
SC was definitely one of my weaknesses. I have completed 3 online diagnostic test SO FAR. In each test, almost 80% of SC answers were wrong.
Understanding the usage of have/ has/ had, difference between Like vs As and If vs Whether, usage of right idioms...this book has it all. I have seen drastic improvement in my mock test score so far.
I have all these books:
Kaplan
OG
Princeton
Nova Press
But none could give me a reasonable explanation on SC section.

a MUST buy!:
I took an expensive prep course and still fell short of needing better material to prepare for the GMAT. My tutor recommended this to me and it is bar none the holy grail for conquering sentence correction on the GMAT.
Good for basics lacks practice questions:
It is good book to build basics, but does not have practice questions. You can read this book in one day. For the money, it is nothing compare to the Official Guide.
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).
