I love saruba's error log.

I would like to suggest one addition that I tried out for myself.
I would add a column in the "Quant log" and "Verbal log" showing "x" for all wrong answered questions.

Source Choice OA Wrong Issue Type
GMATPrep 1 C C Knowledge gap PS
GMATPrep 1 C E X Not sure PS
GMATPrep 1 E C X Careless PS
GMATPrep 1 C C Tough DS

You can see really quickly which questions were wrong.
But other than that. Just great!

I am using Error Logs by Saruba+Spoilt+Trianglock.

I cant increase the space of any coloum. How can I do that?

How can I create more option tool in this error log?

The Competition is finished. Here's a list of Error Logs of all times :).

How to use & Purpose

The purpose of an error log is to keep track of your mistakes. You can use one of these fancy spreadsheets, you can use your own doc, GMAT ToolKit, or you can just mark the questions you got wrong in your book. The goal is the same - to build a list of questions that are problematic for you. Usually, you would exclude anything that you have missed by pure careless error (for example, confused answer choices) but you do want to have here all other questions you missed. Why? Because these questions are what you want to review at the end of the week and perhaps every month. You also want to save them for the last week (especially the ones that you missed twice).

If one of these spreadsheets is too fancy for you, just get your own error log/timer/etc - the key is to keep track of your weaknesses and mistakes and then to attack them. No spreadsheet can do the studying for you though.

Error Logs


  1. Error Logs by Saruba
  2. Error Logs by Saruba+Spoilt+Trianglock
  3. Error Logs by Spoilt
  4. Error Logs by Trianglock




There is also a built-in Error log in the GMAT Club Forum
No downloading, No manual work - it tracks your progress automatically when you solve questions on this forum and gives you the results. Learn more about the Forum Timer

My error log isn`t displaying the graph of questions by sub topic in quant stats section(Error log by Saruba 2007). I don`t know anything about excel and was hoping if someone could help me with it.

I have no idea what option tool is that you want to increase.

Hi bb,

I remember that you've mentioned in one of the error log posts(can't find out which one despite several keywords on google and GMATClub!) that you used a simple word document for these errors, printed a stack and revised this. I find it better to do so rather than using a digital version. Can you please share how you structured your doc error logs with us? It may benefit those who don't fancy using an excel and would rather refer to a bundle of notes.

Many thanks for this!

Yes, i just printed out the questions i got wrong and I would review them every week in a stack. I would review them and identify what error I made, why I made it, and in the quant case, knew how to solve a similar question. I was not solving the question every time - that would be silly as I knew the answers by heart but what I was reviewing was why I made the error, and how to spot it again (verbal) as well as how to solve similar question (logic/formual behind it) for quant. It was not a big stack - perhaps 20-30 sheets. I did not use every mistake I made - only the ones I would benefit from remembering/knowing/keeping fresh.

bb Can we use the error log to record error in the GMAT club quizzes? I have noticed that my notes/error logs for questions in the forum are not in the same place as those for general forum questions.

ThankS!

Thank you so much for putting this together!
I will link to this post from the Forum Quiz Topic as well

Entering data for each question you do is tiresome and takes up a lot of time...

Thanks to GMATClub for allowing us to download our error log in excel format...
But
There's no way to delve into accuracy of sub topics ...

Here's a decent Error log (inspired by Spoilt 's GMATClub_Error_Log V3.0) that uses GMATClub Error Log's data format
It would be really helpful if someone can add charts/graphs or beautify the attached.


Thank you!

Steps to use:
1. Download your error log from GMATClub
2. Copy the data
3. Paste it in the first sheet of the attached error log
4. Change defined Range(s) by heading to Formulas > Define Name

Range Name | Range
CorrectR =GMAT_Error_Log!$F$2:$F$[Last Row Number without brackets]
DiffR =GMAT_Error_Log!$I$2:$I$[Last Row Number without brackets]
SubTypeR =GMAT_Error_Log!$K$2:$K$[Last Row Number without brackets]
TypeR =GMAT_Error_Log!$B$2:$B$[Last Row Number without brackets]
