1. How many types of structures are there in SC and how to identify them quickly?
2. I'm facing lot of difficulty in whole underline question to identify error...How to tackle this type of question? What to do if we can't see/find any errors in Sentence?
3. In comparison when should we repeat words and when not?

Hi 12921,
In an earlier post, you noted that you were planning to take the GMAT at the end of July. Is that still your plan? If not, then when are you planning to take the Official GMAT?
SCs are 'technical' in nature (similar to how Geometry questions require knowledge of formulas), so you need to know the grammar/idiom rules really well (and be able to spot when they apply) to score higher in this category. Thankfully, you do not need to know every little rule to perform at a high level in this area, but if you are frequently choosing your final answer based on how it "sounds", then you are probably missing out on a number of 'gettable' SCs (and learning - or relearning - the major Grammar rules would likely be a good idea).
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) Over the last 3 months, how many hours have you typically studied each week?
2) What study materials have you used over the course of ALL of your studies? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Few things you can also try.
1) Leverage the non-underlined portion
2) Memorized relevant idioms (there's a downloadable list on the gmatknight blog)
3) Check for redundancy (two words that kind of means the same thing in a single sentence)
Hope that helps.
