Question on SC Strategy

[gmatalongthewatchtower]

I was trying to solve SC questions from OG12. I got approx 80-90% correct answers while solving the first fifty questions. However, as I am progressing, my success rate is going down steeply. To add, I got only 2/10 correct from 80-90 range. I know that OG12 problems are graded in increasing order of difficulty. Am I the only one who is facing these issues or is it that my basics are not right ?

Any tips will be greatly appreciated. I also tried to solve problems that I answered incorrectly on my first attempt. However, I get majority of them right on my second try. Not sure if I am treading the right path.

BTW, I have already gone through mGMAT SC Guide once. Sometimes I get frustrated and I feel as if I should open the grammar book.

Please help.

Thanks

unfortunately, it's going to be impossible for us to give a specific answer to this question, since, in essence, this question amounts to "how do i get better at SC?"

on the other hand, if you're sick of your current approach, or if you want to try something else that may have greater effectiveness, then you can try the approach i've outlined in the first half hour of the NOVEMBER 18 study hall lecture here:

Thanks for your reply, Ron! I believe I wanted to understand if there is someone else in the same boat as I am OR is it that I haven't properly mastered the basics. I will go through the video posted by you.

Again, thanks for helping me.
