I have just started with my GMAT preparation and have finished with the diagnostic test in OG 2019(got above avg in SC) and the questions on SC in the OG. I have not gone through the rules at the beginning of the chapter on SC in the OG as it was too time consuming and confusing,so I directly started solving them by the theory whichever sounds right and having a general idea about grammar.I would say I was 75% accurate with practice questions in the OG(not timed) .I am avoiding the rules as I feel it will make me confused in mugging them up and remembering them and applying them and take more time in tackling the questions. I recently gave the free sectional test on verbal in gmat club and got 16.With regards to the SC questions some of them I made careless mistakes and the 700 + questions the answers were weird and although the sentences seemed easy the differences were subtle.How to proceed further with my preparation to increase my score. I am having the verbal review 2019,manhattan prep material,, advanced official questions and SC grail 2018 by Wiley. I plan to appear on July.

Hi turjya
I found Manhattan Strategy Guides a good source for GMAT preparation including sentence correction (SC).
I also found YouTube videos of Veritas Prep very good for SC similar to video link below: -



Besides there are many online courses for GMAT SC preparation.

welcome to the gmatclub. thank you for sharing your query here, but this is not the right section to ask this question. the right section is here:
general-gmat-questions-and-strategies-1/?fl=menu

well, it seems that you are worried about SC section. my suggestion will be to read the best kudos post for every questions. Here is attached a sample for best kudos post. you can take an idea from this screenshot.
