Hello Experts,
I am struggling with SC Timings. If i am solving SC questions then i can get accuracy of 75 to 80% but while timing any accuracy is reducing and my avg timing is 2+ min for SC which i know is very poor.
Can you please guide me for this so that i can solve SC in timely manner

Hi him1985,
As a general rule, SCs are meant to be solved relatively quickly. CR and RC prompts require more time to read, take notes and answer the given question(s), so you have to make sure that you have enough time to commit to those tasks. As such, a typical SC needs to be solve in 60-90 seconds.
This requires a combination of knowledge (knowing the major grammar rules and idioms) and recognition (being able to quickly spot patterns behind how the GMAT writers usually test the various grammar rules). With enough practice, you can build up this skill and solve SCs faster, but it is a skill that takes time to develop.
