Hi Everyone,
I am struggling in the SC section. I realize that I know the GMAT level concepts and rules (i have gone through the egmat material twice) but when i am solving the questions, i manage to eliminate the answer choices to top 2, but then my accuracy for the final answer is really low.
I think i am mostly going wrong at the very basic level (Use of relative pronouns (really struggling here), modifiers). Can someone refer me some strategy or material that i can refer to overcome this flaw? I have around 20 days to my test.
Thanks,
Raunak

Hi Raunak,
The easiest way to come out of a situation when you feel you are trapped is by practicing and trying to understand the pattern of your mistakes.
Try to follow the following steps to see if you can improve.
1. Find out the subject and the verb
2. See that the S&V agree in number
3. Look out for the modifiers
4. Look out for parallelism
5. Look out for usage of certain words - such as vs like, few vs less etc.
In addition, try to drill down deep on each problem type:
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
As an addition, start preparing an error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.

Hi Raunak,
You've posted several times over the last few months, but you never seem to provide any answers to the questions that you're asked. While you've self-identified SC as an area that you need to work on, there might be some other issues that you also need to work on. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) Did you take the FULL CAT each time?
Goals:
3) What is your goal score?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
