I am tired of asking for help on e-gmat but no one respond. Please let me know where to put my doubts on e-gmat so that I can get a response. I request you to reply to my post before I feel I did a mistake in taking e-gmat course.
I have taken e-GMAT SC course and work on around first 25 videos(Verbal SC plan) but when it comes to application I find myself in a nervous state. Please help me how to approach the course and get most of it. Moreover, my grammar basic are not so strong but I have understanding of basic entities which are required.To strengthen my basic,I read e-gmat grammar foundation book.Do I need to follow something else?
My current approach to an SC question :
1. I try to understand the meaning and then separate clauses(sometimes I missed clauses of that)
2. Check for verbs n pronoun error which is little bit time consuming.
3. Follow parallelism and list closely (which makes SC analysis more time consuming)
After doing so I found myself around 2:30 (150+ seconds) if it is a difficulty level 600-700 question. There start the panic and got incorrect answer. Please let me know where I am wrong and how to focus and reduce my time with an increase in accuracy.
My current verbal scores are in range of 18-23.

Dear Vikrant,
First of all I am really sorry to hear that you have been struggling to get your doubts clarified by e-GMAT experts. However, I am little surprised here because of the following discoveries:
1: There is not even a single unanswered query on our forum. You asked one doubt that was responded to by our experts.
2: You have done only 15% of the course. In fact you have only done one application file and hence technically speaking you have just started to learn the 3-steo approach that we teach.
I have a few questions that I need you to answer:
1: You were sent a detailed study plan when you purchased the course. Are you following that study plan?
2: Have you viewed or attended the SC 1 - How to Approach live session?
3: Have you solved the official questions as prescribed after Application File 1?
Vikrant, learning the correct approach to SC takes diligence and practice. Your diagnostic score is 41, which is less than 30 percentile, indicating that you really need to learn the concepts and learn the correct approach to solving sentence correction questions. As I tell the students in the SC 1 live session, learning and mastering the process takes time. Do not expect magic to happen right after the first application file. Also timing is a consequence. At this stage of your preparation, you should not be even worried about timing.
If you follow the prescribed study plan diligently there is no reason why you will not succeed.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Payal

Thanks for response Payal.
Firstly,I am following the SC Plan provided by you and follow each video closely. Secondly, I have work on OG question mentioned in SC plan in the given order. I have taken two OG question bench in first(before Level 1) I score 12 correct out of 15 and in second(after level 1 appplication) 17 out of 21.Correct answer percentage is almost similar.
In my previous post I told my approach how I solve an SC question.Is it correct or do I need to change that approach?
No,I have not seen SC-1 How to Approach live session. Please share the link.
Do I need to follow the SC -study plan present in Verbal online plan sheet or there is some other study plan?
Thanks in advance.
