Not up to the mark performance in Sentence correction section [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 30 Jun 2023, 10:48
I am having serious inconsistency in SC section. Also i take on an avg > 2 mins per question, i wonder how people manage to do it in less than 1 min. I have gone through MGMAT SC and EGMAT SC videos but while attempting questions, my accuracy is around 50%. I tried solving OG, but once questions get 650-700+, i get almost 7 out of 10 wrong which shakes my confidence to a great extent.
Any suggestions, as to how can i improve this while I am targeting to appear for test in a month?
P.S. I am targeting a score of 750+. I am good in QA and hopefully can get at least Q49 but Verbal scares me the most. I need to score at least V42.

Hi expert,
I am really struggling in Verbal section, particularly in SC section. Please suggest me how to proceed? I tried solving OG, but once questions get 650-700+, i get almost 7 out of 10 wrong which shakes my confidence to a great extent. How do i handle this situation and how to proceed?

If you feel your fundamentals are solid on SC, consider working on your solving approach. May be helpful to see how someone who is strong on SC goes through the answer choices, for example. Some quick tips for SC would be to memorize commonly tested idioms, see if there is anything helpful in the non-underlined portion, and cut out the fluff to better check whether the core of a sentence "works".

Hi walterwhite756,

Do you need to work on your concepts? If you do, you may find this (free) SC course helpful:
