Alright so this is going to be my study diary which I shall use to chronicle my day to day progress.
I was previously scheduled to give the GMAT on 11/29 but because of my poor showing on my first
MGMAT Prep I have rescheduled it for Dec 20.
I am doing this so that I can have some accountability on my part and stay motivated during my prep.
Where i stand today,
GMAT Prep - 640 (Q 42, V 34)
MGMAT Prep 1 - 620 (Q 38, V 35), horrible timing, guessed 10-11 questions on Quant

Not really concerned about AWA at this point. Chineseburned's format seems to work well.
