I recently switched to reading reviews because I think it’s much better for understanding. But there are some sentences in which I’ve horribly misunderstood the meaning of the rest of the sentence, but got the grammar point in question correct. I usually just mark it as correct anyway, unless I incorrectly understood the grammar point in relation to the sentence. My logic is that my understanding of the other points which I have wrong will more than likely be tested at some point as well, so they don’t really matter; regardless, something about it feels like cheating, so I just want to get some confirmation: Is this the right approach?

If it’s something you haven’t learned yet, I’d ignore it until it comes up as a lesson of its own.
If it’s something you’ve already learned, but didn’t recognize in this specific sentence, you could make a separate card for it. Either using BP ghosts feature, or in Anki.
If it’s something you’ve learned but forgot completely, I’d pass this sentence, and then go to that forgotten item and fail it instead.
SRS is is a tool, not a test. There’s no cheating, just deciding if you want to spend more time on this particular sentence or on something else instead.
