The best way to improve on SC is "practice". That said, the only way you can learn any thing from practice is through self-reflection. Keep an error log/documentation for your SC practice problems.

Once you start using it, you will realize your weak areas. Then maybe you can concentrate on improving in those areas. But since u r at 75% accuracy, i doubt that you need to read/understand any concepts.

Yes. I timed each and every problem i practices on SC. This helped me understand why i was taking more time on some type of problems and then tried to improve myself in those areas. For me, the shorter problems were a concern - Ironically ! I used to waste considerable amount of time on checking and re-checking the answer before proceeding. I was at 90% accuracy in SC - which meant that i needn't spend the additional time in re-review of a SC question. This was one story of my improvement !

Thanks Jim. Yeah - i saw that change with the latest published percentiles. I got an 8/8 and a percentile of 94 on my official score card. But the same score(8) is now 93 percentile according to mba.com percentile list. I hope it doesn't drop any further.

Best,
