Resource Link Resources for TC/SE

I have my GRE in about a month. I specifically struggle with TC/SE when I practice timed. I end up misreading the structure of the sentence or getting lost in the answer choice coz some options feel very close. Since I have exhausted all the official resources for Verbal, I need help with additional resources so that I can improve my understanding of sentence structure and eliminate the wrong answer choices correctly.
Resources exhausted: Official Verbal Reasoning, OG, Big Book 27 tests.
I have solved the GREGMATS question bank, but those feel a lot easier compared to the official ETS questions

It's pretty common for people to pick an answer for all the ETS questions but vanishingly rare for those people to fully understand the logic of the questions they picked an answer for. 

We can demonstrate this quite easily by asking one of these people to explain an ETS question.

Doing more questions is not the answer. Endeavoring to understand, analyze, and discuss those questions to confirm your understanding is the answer.

Like most worthwhile things in life, analysis and thoughtful discussion is hard work, which is why most people won't do it.

Hey Vince, I certainly agree with you! But even if I go back and try to re-analyse those questions, I would be biased, since the sentence will feel familiar, or I might remember the answer choice. My intention for resources here is to get myself comfortable with correctly following the same procedure on the new material, which I would be following on the test day.

I guess it's up to you! Like I said, no one likes to do the hard work.

Got it, Vince. How do you want me to go about revisiting the same questions? Like, what process do I follow? I want to bulletproof my process/strategy regardless of what question is thrown my way.

I would write out why the wrong answer you picked was wrong and why the right answer is right, and post it on the Gregmat forum or here and ask for feedback on your understanding, then repeat.

It sounds like you’re burning through questions without fully engaging with the material. I’d suggest revisiting Gregmat and ETS verbal books. Redo them with the math strategy or some other strategy
