Dear Everyone,
I am currently preparing for the GMAT and I am seeking your guidance regarding sentence correction.
As we are aware, "GMAT sentence correction" can be primarily categorized into the following sections:
1. Sentence Construction and Subject-Verb Agreement
2. Tenses
3. Pronouns
4. Parallelism
5. Modifiers
6. Comparison
7. Idioms
I have thoroughly studied all the concepts, but I still encounter difficulties when attempting questions of a difficulty level above 650 within a time limit of 2 minutes.
Could you please suggest a specific sequence or order in which these rules should be checked while attempting a question?

Hi PanchalNe,
In general, SCs are meant to be solved much faster than you appear to be solving them (spending 2 minutes on ANY SC is far too much time) - so there are likely some broad issues in terms of how you approach those prompts (and that is likely due to a mix of how long you've beens studying and the materials that you have been using). Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi PanchalNe.
One more section you should add to your list is Meaning.
Regarding the order you should check in, the issue is that many sentence versions will have only one or two of those types of errors. So, if you check for every one in a particular order, you'll often waste lots of time.
So, what you're better off doing is learning to read each sentence version from begining to end and see what flaws are in the version.
