I need a 700+ score on the GMAT but my SC accuracy rate is only 50%. I am 2 months away from taking the test. How can I improve my SC skills?
Below are some of the areas that I need to improve on:
1. Idioms
2. SC problems in which the underline is long or in which the entire sentence is underlined.

Hello,
I am not an expert but let me try to share me observation here.
1) Improvement that you need may take some time, but you need to keep practicing the standard questions from Official sources.
2) Idiom - There are so many IDIOMS that it would be waste of time concentrating on reading idioms for number of hours and ending up screwing up other grammatical aspects. I would recommend to follow structured process and be aware of most common known idioms.
3) Long SC problems which is completely underlined is difficult to tackle unless you understand the grammatical and meaning aspects of a sentence. You need to understand the essential and non-essential part of the sentences and also whether all the parts of the sentences are connected in correctly & conveys intended (logical meaning).
Please follow the experts in the forum and go through the subjects that they have shared.
Some of the posts that may help you understand the structured way to solve the problems -

3) You can also solve the question based on topics and difficulty level - https://gmatclub.com/forum/sentence-cor ... 29750.html.
Hope this helps.

Hi
Idioms need to be memorized and there is no other way to improve accuracy on idioms. You can go through the idioms on MGMAT SC guide.
For SC sentences with long underlined, I would suggest to go through Gmatninja' videos or posts in the Gmat question of the day. It wil definitely help to improve SC accuracy.
