That means hit ratio of 88%. That looks decent, keep a log file for the mistakes you make.

No one preparing for GMAT is not worried. Please be more specific with your questions and share where your problems are. We can discuss/debate/improvise/innovate and do a thousand things before deciding whether we should finally give up or keep trying.

And then there's a bunch of extremely dedicated folks to help here..

5 mistakes out of 14-15 SC questions. That is 66.66% of accuracy.
My SC is weak in general. I find it difficult to apply the lessons learnt while writing a test. In tests it become mostly like - "OK, so this sounds better, tick it off."

Another thing I am concerned about. Timing. I read a question several times, more so while taking full length tests. So, I have to rush in towards the end.

Dude, you wrote "41" before, so I said 88% hot ratio ;)
Anyway, my suggestion is to drop solving SCs first, grab a copy of Kaplan verbal workout if you can, they have given the general errors in GMAT SCs. GMAT SC errors are generally among the standard set of errors, like, pronoun, subject-verb agreement, modifier, tense, idiom etc.

Once you are familiar with these problems, practice a lot with a clock besides, eliminate each but one choice with PROPER technical reason.

Most important, keep a log file (soft or hard copy), write your mistake immediately when you make a mistake & keep going through it at least 3 times a week.

Hard work, patience, constant practice & 'never give up' attitude is what SC needs :)

Sure.

I remember seeing an excel sheet floating around the club, but not sure of the link...
