Hi there,
after studying the MGMAT SC book I went trough the Official GMAT Guide to identify my weakness in SC.
Therefore I created an error log which indicates that it is most likely that I fail a question when the problem is Grammatical construction, Logical Prediction or Rhetorical construction..
Do you have any suggestions how to tackle this best?
What is confuses me is that I really have a lot of Logical prediction mistakes even I am doing really good in CR. I would assume that it is best to start reading some books to get more familiar with the structure and construction of sentences, any other suggestions?
Thanks

Dear m4nk,
I'm happy to respond.
For starters, I am going to recommend these three blog articles:
1) https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/gmat-sente ... struction/
2) https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/logical-pr ... orrection/
3) https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/rhetorical ... orrection/
This is another good one about Grammatical Construction:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2014/nested-gra ... orrection/
Magoosh has a multiple video lessons on each one of these topics.
As with many advanced questions, the learning lies in the details, not in general rules. I would highly recommend that, for each question that gave you trouble, find that question posted here on GC (please don't start a brand new post for a question that has already been posted before). Read that post, especially the experts' comments, and see if that resolves your doubts. If not, add your own question to the thread. Feel free to solicit my input if you would like me to address anything.
Does all this make sense?

This isn't necessarily going to solve your problem but to help get you moving in the right direction......
Logical Predication errors on the GMAT usually refer, generally speaking, to errors of meaning. In other words when it is not logical for one thing to be paired with another. Comparisons in which the things being compared are not logically parallel is an example of this.
So it may be that you are just not really focusing on meaning enough when you read the sentences and are locked in much more to grammar. Grammar issues are of course important but more and more GMAT sentence correction questions seem to be moving more toward logic and meaning and less toward grammar (the trend away from grammar and toward meaning is actually a trend that has been in the works for several years now).
So when you are doing GMAT SC, try to take a step back and think about the sentence logically. Make sure that the implied meaning is both unambiguous and completely logical. If not, it is probably the wrong answer.
