This has been very helpful. I'm leaning toward using the awesome error log. Does anyone know where I can find a version of the log that has been adapted to include the Integrated Reasoning section? That would be ideal. If that is not available, does anyone know if there is a separate log available for the Integrated Reasoning?

Hi, can you please tell me how to review the error log?
I mean once we have started maintaining it do we just go through it or we memorize areas where we went wrong so that when a similar questions comes we are prepared for it

So I find that error logs are key to the process and allow you to really understand your underlying mistakes. I took the test once and am currently restudying and I have found the GmatFix software to be unbelievable for this. I have used a lot of error logs (MGMAT etc..) and even made my own (through Excel), though the GmatFix software allows you to set blocks of questions (drills), displays them on screen (with a timer) and you can mark answers, as well as if you guessed etc... as you go or even after the fact. I have definitely seen a lot of different software at this point in my studying and I have found this the best for practice, review, and ERROR ANALYSIS of questions...HANDS DOWN.

That's a good question. I think we have not actually created one for the OG 2016. Perhaps we should.
I know we have for the OG 2015 here: gmat-club-guide-to-the-gmat-official-guide-11-12-13th-ed-85956.html

Anyone wants to join in on the project? It should be pretty straightforward since not to so many questions have been updated. I am going to be traveling for a week (Thanksgiving) so I won't be able to get to it sooner, but if anyone is able to spend an hour or so to update the error log/OG guide to get it up to 2016 edition, that would be great!

I actually scoffed at the idea of an Error Log when my brother asked me if I had set one up. He totally set one up and got me going on it but I still didn't take it seriously. Now that I am going through and re-reading multiple posts and putting together the picture as I plot out my next two and half months of GMAT prepping, I see the light (that emits from the Error Log).

HI All,

Even if you don't have a formal 'Error Log' document, the process of reviewing questions, categorizing your mistakes and then re-attempting those same questions can make a huge difference in your overall improvement and performance on Test Day.

The potential reasons for getting a question wrong are somewhat limited, and can (in many cases) be solved by taking more/better notes. Sometimes there's a content issue (you didn't know the rule/formula involved) or the question was simply too difficult, but THAT information is useful too - especially if you're consistently getting questions wrong from a specific content area (e.g. Geometry, Pronouns, etc.). Defining those patterns can help you to focus your ongoing studies.

Hi Rich,

I am not too comfortable using a spreadsheet in making an error log. I prefer having a pen paper format. I am making separate logs for different quizzes/practice tests I am taking. I am following the below format.
1. Question no
2. Type of question (Inference/Weaken/Idioms, etc)
3. Why selected choice was wrong
4. Learning from overall question

Post all wrong questions are analyzed, I am noting key learnings from that test. This includes timing and overall approach for that test/quiz.

Kindly let me how I can improve my error log.
