I have been reading a lot about error logging and I just started one for quant but I am struggling to balance solving new questions with going over my error log. Could someone give me pointers? Should I just log things I get wrong or everything I go overtime with? Should I be going over the error log every day or once a week? Is there a recommended excel template?

Hi. Welcome to the GMAT Journey 
1. Here is a video from last week we just did in partnership with MGMAT about the topic of how to use it and how to leverage:
2. There are a ton of templates. GMAT Club has a built in error log. You can read about how to use it and what it is here. Here are some of the templates: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-error-log-86232.html and more https://gmatclub.com/forum/new-error-lo ... 44687.html. We also have individual error logs for Official Guides - each one. You can find them here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmac-officia ... 40610.html
3. You Use it as you wish. If you want to have accuracy by topic, then you need to log all questions. I did not do that. I did not take all that many questions (as I did not have them). Some people resort to mostly taking questions on GMAT Club because if you use the timer, every question is automatically logged in the error log on GMAT Club. Also if you take questions as a part of the Forum Quiz, they are grouped automatically or you can group them as you find best.
Others, combine them. You can download data for the GMAT Club's log and merge it and do more analysis. The choice is yours but the key is to track your mistakes rather than solve 1000's of questions or log them all. I just saved my mistakes and went as far as print them out and put them into a stack that I would review from time to time.

Firstly, if you're looking for a starting point, I'd recommend the GMAT Club error log. To make it even more efficient, consider adding a few columns that might offer deeper insights into your performance. I suggest the following:
Time Taken
Silly Mistake (Yes/No)
Concept Missing (Yes/No)
What is the concept if missing?
Revised? (Yes/No)
This will not only help you identify the mistakes but also categorize them, allowing for targeted improvement.
As for how often to review your error log, it really varies from person to person. However, don't get too hung up on the frequency. The primary purpose of the error log is to highlight areas that need attention, understand the difficulty levels you might be struggling with, and pinpoint specific concepts that need revision. Whether you review it daily or weekly, the key is consistency and using the insights to guide your study plan.
Remember, it's a tool to assist your learning, so mold it in a way that best serves your needs. Good luck, and happy studying!
