What is the best way to approach Sentence correction prep? I wrote the GMAT yesterday, and scored a V41, I feel that what is holding me back in verbal is SC (Corroborated by Mock analysis)..I average about 3-4 incorrect questions in SC per test (Fairly consistent across the board, be it official or non official tests). Since i have decided to retake the test in a few months (because of my quant score) i will look to maintain my current position, while spending a bit of time to better prepare myself for SC. I read the MGMAT SC guide, and practiced OG (OG13, OGVerbal). I usually get 100% accuracy in CR, and would like to do similarly well in SC as i think it should be easier to get that type of accuracy in SC (which is based on clear rules) as compared to CR. Could you suggest, a better way to study GMAT Grammer, i would really like to spend time to improve SC (although 80% of my prep will be quant).

I then concentrated on That aspect, and in the latter half of my Mock tests, i was not bothered by Questions that test modifiers. I know for certain, that i have issues with IDIOMS, because i have relied TOO MUCH on using my ear, rather then memorizing some of the trickier ones, however no other pattern seems to emerge from my analysis (I may get Parrelelism questions wrong, in one test, and get modifier questions wrong in another, while getting both categories right in yet another). I am looking to start from scratch and this time, Go deep into each and every topic as i am not on a deadline.
