I've done all the OG12 SC q's now. Compared to Aristotle I find that OG12 differ a lot more in difficulty.
A lot of OG questions are very easy, some medium and the rest very difficult. Some questions I could not make any sense out of at all.
I have only 2 weeks left until G-day (22 February) so I'll propably be better of by focusing on quailty instead of quantity. From now on I'll re-read Aristotle, read Manhattan SC, and focus on OG11, re-do OG12 and some Veritas SC.
I hope that will suffice for me to reach about 75% correct SC on G-day.

I found the same. the latter questions (95+) of OG12 were more difficult. I will be going through OG12 again
but this time i will try to find explanations from Ron Purenwala. I heard good things about his explanations. As for Aristotle, i think its questions are of medium level and are easier to detect faults. My accuracy rate was 75%+.
what are your thoughts about it?
are you planning to do 1000s SC questions?

Okay, could you point me in Ron's direction ?
I think Aristotle is good for learning basic concepts like, "if/whether", "such as/like", when to use "which" or "that". But when you reach a certain level in SC that isn't sufficient. However, Aristotle has helped me to rule out some of the alternatives when in doubt, increasing my chances from like 33% to 50% or so.
I'll try to get the most out of the quality questions before approaching SC, we'll see if I'll have the time.

I'm near 95-100% in both RC and CR so hopefully 1,5 week 200% SC focus will raise my SC-level a few notches.
Are you doing the 1000SC ?
That's awesome that you are consistently getting 95%-100% in CR & RC. Well done.
Don't forget quant section. Its very important to be in touch with quant techniques, which you have learnt over the course of 2 months.
Every morning, before going to work, i go through GMATclubs Maths book. It helps. At least gives me a confidence.
No as i mentioned before i will not go through 1000SC because of negative comments by other users.
I have started OG12 (again) but this time focus is more on explanations provided by different users such as Lunarpower, daag etc.
did you do RC99 and CR100 from Aristotle?
