hi, im wondering if anyone is experiencing series of fluctuations in their studies?
I was learning Sentence correction on 700 Level, and was able to do it with minimum error - didnt manage to make sometime during the week because of work and now im experiencing that i was way behind compared to the week before.
It started as answering one question wrong, then another and another and everytime i try to answer more questions, i start doubting my choice and ended up answering the wrong ones.
I started to do 600-700 questions, and tho i know how to eliminate, the same happened that i was down to 2 answers, and picked the wrong one?
The more i got wrong, the more i have less confidence and the more i doubt my own thinking or reasoning?
Anyone else experiencing this? any tips

Hi rdrdrd1201,
While GMAT skills can 'fade' over time, it's not clear how long it's been since you were consistently working on your SC skills. In addition, a variety of different factors can impact your performance on any given day, including how well-rested you are, whether you're distracted during your study time or not, the type of material you are using, etc. SCs in particular require a strong attention to detail - beyond knowing the necessary Grammar/Idiom rules, you also need to spot when they apply (and "700-level" prompts can sometimes involve rare versions of standard rules).
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 long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? 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?

Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC to students. There's a downloadable idiom list and some SC video tips on the GMAT Knight blog you may find helpful too. Working on a solving approach to SC may be worth considering as well.
