Hello,
I just thought of a strategy that may have already been posted on here, as I know most of you keep detailed error logs (which is great). But anyway, if even one person has a lightbulb moment as a result of this post, my 2 minutes of posting this will be time well spent! Haha
So, whenever you do ANY practice tests, even (and especially) full-length CATs (which can be time consuming to review afterwards!), I suggest that you keep an excel window open on your phone OR a good ol fashioned separate piece of paper (other than scratchwork), and write IN ADVANCE the serial numbers of questions: 1-37 for Quant, and 1-41 for Verbal. And just do one thing: As you solve and answer every single question, write your level of certainty from a scale of 1 to 10 next to the serial number of the question over your excel file or your paper.
That's it - just your level of certainty on a scale of 1-10. Writing how you felt about a problem is easy on practice questions, and I'm sure many of you must already be doing that. But I don't know about full-length CATs - I think most of us don't, as we're in a rush to get to the next question and finish it on time. And writing a number from 1-10 quickly won't take much time, but it can serve you very well in your review whether it's immediately after or even weeks or a month later.
The main purpose I had in mind when I thought of this was long-term revision. Obviously, the logic behind it is.. Questions that you just didn't know and got wrong, you'll know you just didn't know how to solve it and you'll learn it - that's fine, and you're likely to remember those just fine, but the questions worth reviewing with greater focus weeks down the road are the questions where you fell for the traps, where you thought with very high certainty that you were right but in actual weren't. So, keep all these sheets of papers (or excel files) stored in a safe place and keep them handy in your future revisions of your CATs!
All the best!
