Forgetting SC rules when attempting questions with lots of fluff

hey i was going through same stuff,the thing is in order to excel in SC you need to practiced so much that you dont need to remember any rules at the time of solving but it should naturally comes to you how to pick and wrong answer and cross it off.

so my suggestion is that you need to practice on each questions type many times

Sounds to me like this is a process-issue. If you do in fact understand the rules of subject-verb agreement and parallelism, what are you actually *doing* when reading sentences?

I find that most students stick to 'the way they read' in SC. They learn all these rules, but then don't have a process to apply them. They just read the sentence, top to bottom, left to right. Then they read the answer choices. Top to bottom. Left to right. There's no structural analysis happening. You say you are unable to see 'and' as a parallelism marker... But do you STOP every time you see the word 'and' in a sentence and ask, "WHAT IS THIS 'AND' CONNECTING?"

'And' (along with other conjunctions) does, basically, two things: it joins clauses or builds parallel structure.

If you don't have a process to notice and use the rules you learn, if you just default to the old way of reading, you'll miss the chance to use what you've studied.

You would have given JEE and memorized hundreds of abstruse formulae.

Who knows you would even have byhearted Inorganic Chemistry

So, how hard can it be to memorize few rules in SC .
