Re: SC - strategy of solving. [#permalink]
Look for the following:

Pronoun errors: (agreement, reference, and case)
Modifier errors: (agreement, reference)
Comparison errors: (agreement, reference, parallelism, "apple to apples")
Verb tense errors: (correct tense, correct relative tense)
Subject/Verb Agreement (sing/plural)
Parallel STructure
Idiomatic forms/Use of wrong words
Other: (punctuation, redundacy, style, active/passive, conciseness, etc).

You need to create a system to go through the above list.
My system varies from sentence to sentence but for a complex sentence I always look for parallel structure first, then agreement, reference, tense, then the rests...

Sentence correction lends itself well to POE.

AkamaiBrah,

pretty good. Do you eliminate wrong answers first or try to find correct one once?
