So here goes my schedule for the NEXT 2 WEEKS

I will take 2 hours Every weekday with the following agenda from OFFICIAL GUIDE 13
20 PS questions, 17 DS questions, 18 SC questions, 15 CR questions
Additionally 3 RC passages from Aristotle RC sets(as you can notice, this is to set me for GMAT concentration as well as a means to finish OG13)



Hi, I'm just curious how you have time to review all those questions after doing them with just two hours of allotted time? On average, how long do you spend reviewing questions?

Thanks!

See, as I said I have already completed more than 75% of OG12
So i hardly have to review PS DS questions
As for verbal, you are right
Takes time to review and so the time exceeds 2 hours sometime, or sometimes I have to cut back a few RC passages.

TIME FOR THE WEEKLY UPDATES ON MONDAY



Completed CR 1-10 and CR 51-124 from OG13 Accuracy levels somewhere around 89-91%. Have marked the problems which I got wrong in gmat toolkit for further review.
Completed 60 SC questions and level 1 of e-gmat course. Right now I am halfway through e-gmat level 2. Accuracy is similar
RC- nothing this week
Bunnel signature 1. Tough and Tricky questions; 2. Hard questions; 3. Hard questions part 2

Workload was high and so it will be in the coming week as well
Objectives for coming week:
11-50 OG 13 CR, to retain accuracy
e-gmat complete SC course
and MOST importantly
FINISH BUNUEL PS AND DS SIGNATURE
FINISH OG13 RC


N.B: I will take my gmatprep2 as i said on 12/08/2012

Fortunately I ll be getting a week at home from 15.08-21.08

If you are being able to hover near the 50 region in Quant, you are doing great. You can, with effort push your score up by 1-2 points.
In verbal, you have a greater opportunity as you can get your scores up by 10+ points.
Given that you have only a finite amount of time and learning capacity (I believe the mind is a finite space where you can load one thing at the cost of another), verbal is your key to getting over the 700 hump. You have scored t once, but I mean scoring consistently.

Guess i'll be burned as a heretic, but I cant help saying this - ignore quant, as of now
