OG is just questions. It is not a book you can learn strategy from or improve with. You get problems which are super helpful but no pointers how to solve them or do it well.

Hi bb. Is there any post regarding GMAT Question Patterns statistics and probability like those posts that Bunuel has created?

So if I review all the wrong questions from the previous day and make a note of what I was doing wrong, wouldn’t that be still fresh in my mind what to do when a question like this appears or the process to solve it and it might be that I even remember the answer of that question, and then a week later if I try to solve the same question and couldn’t do it right, that would be depressing 🫩
same with me solving and solving...but not improving

may be as bb correctly pointed out quality is more important than quantity

I would hope that after reviewing the question twice, you would be able to solve it and probably name the answer without even reading it.

However, that is not essential. You should treat a question as a single used item. You can absolutely revisit them and you can absolutely use them and enjoy them and learn from them but it’s like a movie. Once you watch a movie you know how it ends.

So just to be crystal clear, do not solve the same question again and feel awesome when you solved it, tell me what mistake you made and tell me why you made it and tell me why you will not make it again. Solving doesn’t matter.

I’ve had tricky questions that I would review day after day after day and I will have to memorize them by heart because I couldn’t figure out a better way of solving them again or rather that type of a question solving it again.

What you can do instead, is so similar questions to test your ability but don’t need to bother solving the same question unless it’s a really hard one and you can actually benefit from solving it

I think the best approach is really treating a question like a movie, rewatch parts of it, quote parts of it enjoy parts of it and if you want to watch the whole thing, share it with your friends but don’t abandon it.

Every mistake is an opportunity not to make a mistake on your test so treat every single mistake with huge importance think about it as a little gift to you or a big gift do not make that mistake. Everyone has to be pursued so you piece of solving questions probably will slow down but your quality and learning will increase and you will make fewer and fewer mistakes.

This was amazing. Thank you BB for this 2 messages. I learned a lot about how to proceed from these.
