I just recently finished OG practice exam and got quite an ok score (Q50 V40). After a look into errors, I found that 5 out of 6 mistakes I mad in verbal part is accounted by sentence correction which I was quite confidence due to consistence correct answer in OG verbal and OG guide practices. Any tips on how I should improve forward?
Thanks in advance! I have upcoming test next Monday and this is eating me out.

Hi pan1pan2.
Your move is to determine why you missed those questions and address what you find.
If you find that you have gaps in concept knowledge, then review or learn the concepts and then practice by answering questions involving those concepts.
If you find that your execution is flawed, then work on being more careful and intense.
By the way, most OG questions are easy or medium level, and if you're scoring 40+ verbal, you will see few to no easy questions and not many medium ones either. So, when practicing with OG questions, you have to get close to 100 percent of easy and medium questions correct and around 90 percent of hard questions correct to expect to score in the mid 40s in verbal.

A lot of people would be very happy with that score! If you're trying to improve the Verbal, consider working on your solving approach. Try to see if you can make the way you go through questions more efficient, for example. This sort of learning doesn't have to take long and you may get a bit of a boost. Had a student for example go from an Official V41 to a V45 in about 10 days. Perhaps find a study buddy with elite Verbal skills, especially on Sentence Correction, who can show you how they go through the section. You can teach them Quant in return.
