I have been trying to get consistent with sentence correction with no avail. I seem to randomly get simple questions wrong and nail the supposedly 700+ questions with ease.
Sometimes, it feels like I'm on fire and I can get just about any SC question correct. Other times (most of the time), I feel totally lost - waiting for breadcrumbs to lead me in the right direction. Inevitably, I come across two answers that I like and somehow choose the wrong one...
- Subject-Verb Agreement
- Modifiers
- Parallelism
- Verb Tense
- Comparisons
- Idioms (optional)
These are what I've been trying to wrap my head around. Honestly, I was doing a lot better on sentence correction before I started learning to dissect each sentence. I went with my ear and was getting about 75% correct. After learning all of these new "Look-out"'s, I tend to talk myself out of the right answer.
Tips? Tricks? Anything!
