Wanted to ask some of the major GMAT club members here Bunuel bb sayantanc2k souvik101990 Skywalker18 mikemcgarry Alchemist14

How do you guys go over questions which you marked incorrectly. I think a big issue of mine, and maybe others on here is not properly learning how to go over a question which we marked incorrect. If we don't learn how to fix the mistake properly, we continue to make the same errors time after time. So if you guys would explain when you get a question incorrect how you go over it to fix the error you made (particularly for the verbal section), I would most appreciate it. Thank you!

As for me, I maintained a personal error log highlighting the principles I missed for each error. I am sending you my error logs in a PM - take a look at it just to get an idea how my error log looks, but please remember that each person must build his / her own error log in order for it to be effective.

Hi rishit1080,

Including a Mistake Tracker/Error Log throughout the course of your studies is a great choice. One of the keys to scoring at a higher level is to define WHY you're getting questions wrong. In many cases, the 'issue' will be something minor/silly - such as not taking enough notes, misreading the question, using an approach that is too complex (when another, easier approach was possible), etc. Those errors should be relatively easy to 'fix' as long as you stay focused on the 'precision' in your work. You should NEVER be doing work 'in your head' - insist on writing everything down on the pad and leave nothing to chance. The 'work' behind a typical GMAT question usually takes less than 1 minute to complete (the rest of the time is spent reading the prompt and taking notes), so you really do have enough time to deal with every prompt (even if you ultimately choose to 'dump' a question). Demand a more consistent level of 'documentation' from yourself when you work and you'd be amazed how quickly you can pick up points. To that end, when you redo questions that you've gotten wrong, you should plan to work through every step - again, write everything down - so that you never allow those little errors to creep back into your work.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
