Dear BTG community:

As I am working exclusively on verbal section of GMAT. I want to share a checklist style formula for attempting SC questions right. As most of us working on SC through MGMAT SC Strategy Guide, Let's create a checklist type formula to apply on every questions asked in SC section in Actual GMAT. In MGMAT guide, following are the possible area of errors:

Grammer, Meaning and Concision
Subject verb Agreement
Parallelism
pronouns
Modifiers
verb-tense-mood-voice
comparisons
idioms
odds & Ends

Wouldn't it be wise to apply each area of errors on each question asked in SC to make sure that selection of right answer among given choices is absolutely error free? Instanly it will be time consuming to apply to confirm 5 choices with above 9 areas of error. In other words one will have to confirm 9*5=45 times with only one question. Any opinion on that??Any other better practice worth adoptable?
