I took the GMAT recently and got a 720. Like many of you, I dutifully kept an error log, but in hindsight this was a failure. That’s because a spreadsheet doesn’t help you stay on track or hold you accountable for redoing problems, reviewing mistakes, etc as and when needed.
You need a system (and a schedule) to develop mastery. Not just a database. Otherwise - believe me - it won’t happen.
So I’m making something better than a spreadsheet: MyGMATLog. mygmatlog dot com
I know it’s easy to get pulled in a million directions with GMAT study. But simple beats complicated. No more setting hopeful redo dates that fall by the wayside. No more improvised study sessions that leave you wondering if you’re doing the right things. Make the most of the time/energy/money you are putting in. Just show up and trust the process.

Hi. Thanks for undertaking it! Looking forward to seeing the error log. When is it going to be live?

I agree about the need for a system, SunilRao. I just wonder whether that system, for many or even most people, should incorporate flexibility. That is, perhaps the error log was not the problem, but the way you were using it was unproductive for your purposes. In my own error log, I include a column for notes on why I think I really missed the question to make it personalized, as well as whether I had narrowed the answer choices down to two and then leaned the wrong way, and so on. I also urge my clients to dedicate every third or fourth day to review only—no new questions—so that they can learn to identify lines of reasoning that lead to correct or incorrect answers, and to maintain a fresh perspective on questions, rather than go through the daily chores, so to speak, and knock out X more questions without really learning anything.
One thing that is not clear to me from your post is whether you were happy with your score. A 720 sounds like an achievement, but the word failure pops up in the next line. The rest of the post sounds positive: your experience with the test spurred you to create a different type of error log. Are there plans to retake the exam? Or is this project simply intended to be your way of pointing others in the right direction?
Whatever the case may be, I will take a look at the site once it is up. I am always interested in seeing what others bring to the table. Thank you for sharing.
