I had completed the OG11 a couple of months ago and now working with the OG10. I knew my weakness is on SC so I am working on the SC questions for the first time in the OG10. I am using the worksheet to mark down my errors and doing 40 at a time. However after 200 questions, my score has always been around 25/40. I can't seems to improve. When I read a question sometimes I am still not able to pick out what is wrong in the original sentence at the first read.

Any tips?

You need to work on your grammar skills/knowledge (that would be my guess, anyway). Forget about GMAT for a bit and focus on the fundamentals. Get a good grammar guide (I have Grammar Smart and would recommend it) and learn the grammar rules that are the basis for GMAT SC questions. You also might want to get a GMAT verbal workbook for more targeted practice than OG, which doesn't have any strategy.

"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."
