I'm not saying this to take the easy way out, but you should get a copy of the Official Guide to the test. It really is the single best resource you can get for prep. I'm not saying it should be the only one, but if you're only getting one, get that.

received a pm.

like jim in the post above, i'm not sure what level you are at; however, a complete mastery of the following list of topics will enable you to solve most official sentence correction problems:
1) meaning of the sentence
2) parallelism
3) pronouns
4) subject-verb agreement
5) placement of modifiers

these are the big five. unless you can spot and solve these kinds of mistakes with almost 100 percent accuracy, it's really not worth your time to study more minor topics yet.
