On my last three practice test, my verbal score has been stuck at 31. I think the best way to improve is focusing on SC, which some of my stats point to as well. Are there any SC references that I can go through quickly, which others have found lots of value in?

Maybe this will help:

But from your post, it seems that you might be relying too much on practice tests to improve your performance. Without books or the OG, that strategy usually doesn't work very well. And at 31 V, you probably need to look into an SC guidebook to strengthen your score.
I could, of course, be mistaken. Perhaps you do rely on guidebooks. If so, could you elaborate on your studies? What, in your opinion, is holding you back? Are you using an error log?

I was in the exact same position you were in. My CR and RC was pretty good but my SC held my Verbal score back. Then I worked on the 70 hardest SC posted on this forum and went through it 3 times over trying to first identify what is the problem asking (by looking at the structure alone), then identify key errors by scanning vertically, then eliminating wrong ones. If you can do that efficiently, you can improve your SC dramatically. Trust me. You just have to spend time and really focus on learning the structure. Use MGMAT SC guide. It is money!
