As I have referred several materials of Manhattan, Magoosh, Economist etc.. for strategies and help for spotting out errors in Sentence Correction. I am able to develop a strategy in attempting an SC question (Thanks to Economist/Bloomberg).
But, I think I need help from the fellow test takers with a summary of pointers/probable errors in GMAT SC. Can anyone help me in this regard?

Hi nkme2007, Hi! Since you mention SC as your specific area of concern, thought I would mention that our sentence correction book Sentence Correction Nirvana is perhaps the only book that offers a score improvement guarantee, and is especially designed for non-native speakers.
After reading the book twice (yes! it's an academic book, and so must be read twice in all seriousness, to reinforce the concepts), you will start looking forward to solving SC questions!
The book is available on Flipkart and Amazon.in. You might want to refer to these sites, to also read testimonials of how readers have benefited.
See here how Mohit, who scored 750 on GMAT, vouches for our book.
If you want to sample a chapter before deciding to go ahead with our book, please PM me your mail-id (along with the chapter that you would like to sample) and I will be happy to send that chapter to you by mail. In addition, the entire Grammar section of the book is also available for free preview at pothi.

Hi nkme2007,
The Verbal section of the GMAT is as consistent and predictable as the Quant section is, but Verbal questions have no 'safety net' (meaning that if you make a little mistake, you won't realize it - you will just convince yourself that one of the wrong answers is correct). As such, you have to do really precise work on each Verbal question that you face. SCs are typically based on 2-4 grammar rules each (and you don't necessarily need to know all of the rules to select the correct answer). In that way, SCs are 'technical' in nature (similar to how Geometry questions require knowledge of formulas), so you need to know the necessary grammar/idiom rules (and when they apply) to score higher in this category.
You list an Official Score in your profile that includes a V22. How long ago did you earn that Score? Beyond that, 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 in total? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) On what 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:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
