"Pattern Recognition" is a commonly used term and a key skill for GMAT .By practice , I could observe clear patterns for right and wrong answers in RC and CR , but never in SC .I just observe splits/decision points and re-split after exclusion . Any advice ???


TheNona,

There are definitely patterns in SC - I would argue they are even more easy to spot than CR/RC ones. But you need to look at the questions and answer choices the right way.
Pay attention to structure, commas, -ING words, etc.

You're lucky to find these patterns easily in RC/CR - usually it's the other way around.

Here are two video examples you may find helpful:
