I was trying to solve SC questions from OG12. I got approx 80-90% correct answers while solving the first fifty questions. However, as I am progressing, my success rate is going down steeply. To add, I got only 2/10 correct from 80-90 range. I know that OG12 problems are graded in increasing order of difficulty. Am I the only one who is facing these issues or is it that my basics are not right ?
Any tips will be greatly appreciated. I also tried to solve problems that I answered incorrectly on my first attempt. However, I get majority of them right on my second try. Not sure if I am treading the right path.
BTW, I have already gone through
mGMAT SC Guide once. Sometimes I get frustrated and I feel as if I should open the grammar book.
Please help.
Thanks

This is not uncommon.
If you're fluent in English, the easy problems will be very easy. However once you get into the harder questions, you're required to know the rules, and be able to systematically apply them to the sentences. The questions are phrased that it gets harder and harder to just 'sound out' what the right answer is.
Keep working on the
MGMAT guide, and be brutally thorough in reviewing problems you did.
For problems youve already done, go back and write out for each answer choice, EXACTLY why it's wrong. Then compare your reason with the OA.
