This might help :

- Learn SC Rules
- Practise GMAT questions
- Analyze each question and find out "What is being tested ?"
- Almost all questions in GMAT have 3:2 split. You can figure that out with practice. This split will improve your speed. You can straight away eliminate 2/3 options in just 10-15 secs.
- Learn about the question types
- More than everything, just practise.

First concentrate on concepts. When you are sure about them, try concentrating on speed !

I am not an expert but this is what I have heard from the ones in 700+ GMAT club.

Look at questions in each area and really study the differences in question. Both in what is tested and how right and wrong answers are presented. Look at the OG to start.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
