Every time I time I try to solve a sentence correction my brain just gets fried up. I am not a native english speaker and learnt it just watching shows or reading/talking about random stuff on social media. Basically, I grew up on the internet where most people just type as they wish and many times we just have to make sense of it with some context even if it makes no sense on its own. Because of this every answer choice seems correct to me. Reading the answer choices feels like entering a mirror maze for me where everything looks the same. And when I try to find some differences in the choices my mind just doesn't process them at all. I have exam on 10 july and my current accuracy is just 3/10 sc questions

Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC to students. Memorizing commonly tested idioms and cutting out the fluff could also help when tackling answer choices. For those close to an exam, fair to say practicing Official questions such as those from the Official-Guide 2022 would be a solid choice.

Hi rezaey.
You need to practice untimed and learn to read the sentence versions in a new, much more literal way.
Normally, when we read, our goal is to comprehend the intended meaning, whether it be of a book, text message, or email, regardless of the writing style or quality. So, we’re lenient with the writer and make efforts to understand the writer’s intended message, even if the writing has errors in grammar, word choice, style, or meaning.
We MUST NOT read that way when answering GMAT Sentence Correction questions.
In SC, we’re not seeking to understand what the sentences would mean if they were well written. We’re seeking to understand what they do mean AS WRITTEN. So, we must read them very literally, and it just takes practice to learn to read them that way.
