OG 11 , performance so far [#permalink] New post   07 Jul 2009, 08:16
I am going to post my scores from OG 11,which I completed recently. I am just excited to get the feedback on how am I doing ?

Verbal
--------
RC: 72% - Inference questions sucked big time, nailed all the primary purpose questions, spent exactly 2 mins per question.
CR: 82% -
SC: 72%

Quant
----------
PS: 87%
DS: 79% - Inequalities major blow( 11 errrors )

Accuracy wise can anyone give comments on how it looks ? and where I can invest more time into for a better ROI. I am basically looking for strategies. I havent done any exams yet and I want to do OG 11 once more if necessary.

I have used my time optimally . i want to score 700+ . Please advice !

You are doing good but it is hard to give you a more exact estimate since the questions in the OG are arranged in an increasing difficulty order, so it is not really possible to compare those in the beginning with those in the end.

You should look into getting Walkers GMAT Timer - it is a great tool - make sure you don't spend 3+ mins per question

Also - you have a good 80% success rate - but your goal is to improve and know why you missed the other 20%.

Hi, I also have a similar accuracy rate in Verbal. I'm trying to improve on SC, which is the major portion in GMAT Verbal (around 16 questions). A accuracy rate of 70% would mean around 5 wrong SC answers.

How are you planning to improve? please share with me too..

If anyone else share their OG scores ,I know what matters is which level of questions did you crack the most, but a general idea on how people are doing ..comparing actual GMAT scores indicate something, my lil hope is comapring OG scores also should make some sense, if not all :)

Any 700+ guys if you can share your scores, if you still kept the notes..please share ..

The problem I was facing so far was that, despite doing lot of practice and reading, I was not improving in SC accuracy rate.

Now, I have created an error log for all the incorrect SC answers from OG. The error log contains:
1. my selected option,
2. OA,
3. question type
4. The mistake made by me (by comparing the correct option with that of mine).

After creating the error log, I noticed that my errors were roughly categorized under following heads (sorted in descending order)
1. Logical construction
2. Diction (like which/that, having, being etc)
3. Verb form (participle, infinitive etc)
4. Idioms
5. Others

So now I know which area I need to focus more, may be by reading more stuff for Diction, verb form, idioms and by taking extra care for logical construction next time during practice.

I have created this log just a couple of days back, haven't yet checked for improvements.

I am still in the process of creating such a log, started it though. But I can tell you that I am in the same boat :) I see many participle errors, countable vs uncountable nouns ,Idioms. Identification is the first step !
