Hey Guys,

Just made a time tracker for myself. Everyone has heard about how important it is to maintain one.
According to me if you are taking more time for any question it may be because of some kind of concept error. Try it out it worked for me it may work for you.

KUDOS PLEASE THANKYOU

Thanks for putting this together. How is it different from an error log and how does it work?
it seems it is a manual process of entering all information? Is there some kind of analysis tab or something else or is this literally a table? Pardon me but I have not seen any formulas so wondering what am I missing :)

Hey bb
Personally there is nothing great about this table. It helped me just wondered if it could help others. :) Anyone can make it, its just about the format and yes it is quite similar to an error log in fact it is an error log but in this I would record all the question whether it is right or wrong, but in which I exceeded the standard required time.

Thank you. I think it would be great if you could share how it helped you and what specific issue is resolved. Since it doesn’t seem to contain any fancy charts and calculations perhaps you can talk more about the substance rather than the looks, though it does look nice ?

Hey bb

I Initially struggled with Verbal, especially CR. Like most, I continued solving more and more questions until I realised I am doing something wrong. My accuracy was at 30% in CR Questions (medium + hard ) . I had to change something. So I made this time tracker and thought about why am I actually making a mistake, there has to be a reason right?. And its all about just asking yourself such questions when you go wrong and working towards them. So I follow an approach where I would give myself 2-2:30 on a CR, on a higher side I yet have to work hard to improve to get a V40+, and the questions in which I do mess up are the ones in which I need to spend more time on. So why I ask myself why did I spend so much time, figuring out everything was it the passage, should I read slower, Did I not understand the answers, How could I have not got this question wrong, what can i do next, how do I never get such a question wrong again etc.
Working on this my accuracy shot up from 30% to 70% for now. Though not so proud of it yet have to get it to 80-90% I am at least relieved that i am not doing that bad as I used to and I am improving. I feel GMAT’s just about these small changes and changing the way you would generally approach it.
Cheers!

Kudos please
