New Error- Log with Timer



I've made a new version of Error Log with new feature: Timer. Now, you could not only manage your time during practice but also keep your practice history clear and precise.

What's new in this version (v3.5) ?
  • Timer feature
    You could manage your time while practicing any question from any source, including OG, OG verbal, and other materials.
  • Estimate your ability by assigning questions with weights
    Inspired by Gnpth, I've decided to integrate weighting feature into this version. Now, you could assign weights to each question as you want.

    You could assign each question by difficult level, for example 1, 2, 3 and 5 for easy, medium, hard and very hard. Download the file to check for more information.

    In sheet Quant Result and Verbal Result, I've already formatted those results so you could see the data easily. You could also easily modify the threshold that is used to mark color to quickly get the result you want.
  • Mark a guess to any question
    I also added a small feature that mark any question as a guess. This feature could be useful to help you focus more on your weakness.
  • Pause the Timer
    I have added the pause/resume button so that you could pause the current session and resume it whenever you want. This feature is really useful that you dont have to reset your current session because of any occurred interruption.
  • Small timer for current question only
    I have added a small timer that show the time taken for current question, not the total taken time for all questions in that session. Hope that this feature could help you manage your time better.
  • Enhanced visual and improved the Timer
    I have added some visual elements so that the file looks better for practice. I have also improved some features in the Timer so that you coud start, stop, pause the timer or go on to the next question more smoothly.



Requirements:
  • Excel 2010 or later
  • VBA could run only in Windows OS. Excel in Mac doesn't support VBA
  • In order to run Timer, the macro must be enable


Other information:
  • In version 3.1, I have removed feature assigning weights by correct rate. However, you could still download version 3.0 to have that feature enable.
  • In case that you face any error/problem/trouble, please reply in this topic. I will try to fix it asap.
  • If you have any suggestion for improving any feature of this file, please let me know. I welcome any comment and suggestion :-D

Would you upload a version that allows the user to type in her own "areas"?
People call different question topics by different names based on the prep books and websites that they use, so it would be really helpful if the user were allowed to make as many question topics as she wants and name them in a way that suits her.

If you want to type the area value freely, you are on your own risks. I mean that the pivot table would produce some unexpected results and the quant/verbal result would not work properly.

I tried to type in different values in the setting sheet but, Excel tells me that it is "protected" with a password. Thanks anyway.

I have uploaded new version and disable the protection on that file. If you modify any value in sheet setting, make sure to include that modified value in sheet quant/verbal result too.

Hi broall thanks so much for this, it's such a great resource. Just wondering, could we also use this Error Log for sources other than the OG? For example, if I was answering questions from the E-GMAT or Veritas quizzes and wanted to record my answers from those sources, how do I select it in such a way that the Error Log shows if the chosen option is correct or incorrect?

Yes, the YELLOW tab in TIMER sheet is user editable.

You need to manually enter OA in error log.

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately, VBA won't work in Excel for Mac. You could still type your results manually without Timer.

I really want to implement a sound in the timer when the time is over but the sheet is protected. Could you do that update ? I think it would be quite easy. Thanks a lot
