SC is one of the hardest parts of the test, in my opinion. I don't think there is a magic serum for it. I think the best thing to do is to practice lots of SC questions, and understand what is wrong with each of the incorrect answer choices.

When you look at an SC question, see if you can identify the type of error contained in each answer choice. If you can't identify it quickly, don't pull your hair out. At that point, go with what "sounds right."

I hope that helps somewhat,

Tatiana
