I know that we should try solve the SC questions within 1 minute. do you guys write down anything while attempting a SC question ?
say 2-3 split etc..
Has/Have and then striking out ..or doing everything in Mind ?

I do...sometimes. Often I'll jot notes for parallelism questions, on which I may have to make a connection between several list items.
My scrapboard might have this on it
(she) joined....
, was injured, and was discharged
, was injured, while being discharged
and was injured, and discharged
, injured, and was discharged
, having been injured and discharged
I can more easily see the intended parallelism vs. the faulty parallelism with all the garbage removed.
Other times when I think notes might help:
(1) There are 3 or 4 splits, but I'm not enthusiastic about any of them. I can eliminate choices that have the most "X"s next to them in my notes.
(2) Long underlined section and I want to keep track of not only what I eliminated but why, just in case I have to reconsider once I reach the end.

I don't tend to write very many notes for SC questions, except for them I feel I've narrowed it down to the "issue" being tested (whether it's subject-verb agreement, matching tenses, etc.). If I feel like I have identified the issue and want to strip out all of the extra material in the sentence, I may try writing it a couple of different ways using just the key parts where the statements differ, which allows me to focus on just the "meat" of what's being asked.
As a style thing, I prefer not to do this except for when I have to, but some of our students benefit a great deal from this approach. As long as it doesn't become a time-suck for you, it can help you get those more difficult SC questions correct.
