My GMAT Chronicle

What i initially thought would take 5 days took 20 days (Sep 28th - October 18).

Finished MGMAT RC and OG12 RC with 85% accuracy.
Finished OG 12 and Powerscore CR with 90% accuracy.

Both books MGMAT RC/Powerscore CR are simply awesome.

Pros:
Accuracy was high and i was able to understand why my wrong answers were wrong.

Cons
Took 2-2.5 mins to finish 1 CR question.
Took more than 1 min per question on OG12 RC passages for Question No 80-140.
I not able to formulate a startegy for inference based questions(most of my errors were in inferences) . I need to revisit those question and need to formulate a consistent plan of attack.

A Good Lesson on improving CR accuracy

Quote " Rather, you should practice solving each question type with a sufficient number of problems so that your approach becomes more intuitive than deliberate. For instance, you shouldn’t have to “think” about how to solve an Assumption question, and “recall” how to use the Assumption Negation TechniqueTM. You should just do it – automatically and instinctively."


A Good Lesson on How To Give Tests

Quote: "Many test-takers mistakenly believe that taking a large number of LSAT practice tests is the best way to guarantee a high score on test day. Some LSAT “gurus” suggest taking 30, even 40 practice tests in the course of several months; others recommend taking one or two tests a day in the weeks leading up to the exam. Cranking out test after test is a grueling regimen, and not necessarily a productive one. Without a concerted effort to improve their conceptual understanding of the test, most students quickly hit a “plateau” in their scores; others see their performance languish due to mental fatigue and burnout. Repeatedly making the same mistakes is not only unproductive, but also—in many instances—counterproductive, as it can reinforce an erroneous way of approaching certain question types or logical reasoning paradigms."
