I was studying SC using Manhattan approach ,where I read the question and then use the answer choices to find the difference and then see which is the best comparing the ans choices. I was looking for better approach as my accuracy with this approach was around 60-70 percent.
I bought egmat sentence correction course ,they have a different approach where the first sentence is bisected into clauses and analysed.
The question I have is,
1) While in their videos the egmat team bisects the questions into clauses, but isn't it time consuming, and is it a practical approach?and is there a egmat video showing how to actually do it on paper ?
2) Which of the above approaches, does the students find better?

I think you missed the most important point about approach explained in Manhattan SC guide - finding the splits and eliminating based on them. For majority of the questions and for majority of the candidates, this strategy works wonder. In some cases you would not even require to read the whole question before you find the answer.

Here's what I tell my students. You don't have to split the sentence up into its clauses (we call it 'finding the core'/'finding the modifiers') on every problem, but:
1. It's a very good thing to do when you review SC problems, because it makes you better at reading and understanding sentences quickly;
2. It's also a good technique for some SC problems on test day. If you're having a hard time understanding the meaning of the sentence because its structure is too complex, find the main subject/verb and the modifiers. If it's obviously testing you on a relevant topic, like modifier placement or subject/verb agreement, find the main subject/verb and the modifiers. But if it's just asking you about something else, like verb tense? Don't waste the time.
