How did you work? Did you just allocate 1 week to problem solving, then 1 week to DS, etc. Or did you work a little bit of everything every day?
Concerning the
error log, you maybe wrote too much info into it, and it was killing your pace. I keep one, but only write the mistakes I made, it also helps me identify recurring questions that show up and which I do not have the knowledge to solve, therefore I have been putting more focus on these weak points.
Regards, and thanks for your feedback.
Early on in my studies I tackled one subject at a time. I would go through all of the verbal areas and then all of the quant areas. In the middle part of my studies, I did a week of verbal, then a week of quant, etc.. Near the end of my studies, I was feeling generally comfortable with all the material, so I just went freestyle, but tried to focus on any remaining perceived problem areas. Math one day, verbal another, then math, math, etc.. no real organization involved near the end.
With the
error log, I didn't put a lot of info in it per question, but I was trying to complete at a minimum the fields that were in the templates on this site. That on top of the fact that I like to go back to not just questions that I got wrong, but that I like to go back to questions that I got right (but covering concepts that I deemed important and wished to review at a later time), meant that the
error log contained too many questions in it. I found that simply circling the questions in my review books made it easier to go back than writing details into an
error log. But again, I understand that the
error log probably does help a lot of candidates.. just that it probably isn't for everyone, as some of the other posts in this thread seem to indicate.
