I am hoping to gain some insight to improve my SC accuracy. Let me begin by saying I am not a native English speaker. Over the last few months I have been preparing for GMAT on and off and struggling really hard with SC. I started with Verbal book and my accuracy for SC was 63%, then moved to OG11, my accuracy was 71% and finally OG12 and my accuracy is only 73%. I am feeling immensely demotivated and with my GMAT date less than a month away, I cannot afford to feel this way. I feel my problem is in not being able to correctly recognize the problem. 90% of the times I have to look at the answer choices to realize what's wrong with the sentence. Also on an average it takes me about 1:30 mins to solve a SC problem. I have gone through the MGMAT SC a few times.
I would be greatly appreciative if you can suggest a method to better understand the SC principles and hopefully improve my SC accuracy.
Thanks!!

Man, I really feel for you. The good news is that you have been improving. Most importantly, let me start by saying that I strongly feel that recognizing the errors based on reading the answer choices is by far the most efficient method to solve SC problems. Let me be more clear: continue looking at SC problems exactly as you are!
Now, in terms of preparation, the problem you are probably having is with the prose used by GMAC. I have recommended on these forums and continue to recommend that non-native English speakers subscribe to either the WSJ or NY Times and read their chosen newspaper for an hour every day. Doing so will radically improve your ability to recognize and interpret the prose used on the GMAT.
Hope that helps.

Thank you Vandygrad11!! I do try and read The Economist and NY Times daily. Guess at this point practice is my best bet.
