I think it will be value added to log the GMAT study process.
Dec 4 2016
1hr 29 min done in the AM.
MGMAT book 1.
The first two chapters and the DS appendix.
Let the games begin.
Target test date: when a practice test indicates a high score.
Materials:
MGMAT
GMAC
OG
Bunuels compilation
GMAT club quant book
And as many practice tests as I can get my hands on
Background:
Sat for the GRE with no prep several years ago and hit 96% on verbal.
Quant will be the uphill climb.
See you tomorrow

Ain't no way to make it happen than to make it happen.

The DS problem sets are interesting and it is obvious I need to change my mindset in order to solve them consistently.
Here is an example from the MGMAT DS appendix:
If xyz ?= 0, is 3x/2 + y + 2z = 7x/2 + y?
(1) y=3 and x= 2
(2) z=-x
Without rewriting the question with like variables, you can use the info in statement 1 and find z=-2 pretty quickly BUT in the context of the question, that is still not sufficient.
That is going to take some undoing of old thought processes.
Immediately I jumped to the thought that "I now know z off of statement 1 alone and can solve" But in the context of the question statement 1 may give you z, which only then allows you to arrive at a "sufficient", but in itself finding z is not the same as making statement 1 sufficient on its own.
That's a convoluted way to tap that out on my phone, but hopefully that makes sense to my two readers and me when I look at this later.
