As long as your error log works for you, it doesn't matter. Excel isn't a bad choice, but if you use the Online Wiley version of the OG, you can have it act automatically as an error log (through a mixture of notes and bookmarks).

All the best.

1. Studying for almost 15hr/week.
2. Not taken any mew mock yet.
3. I'm following Magoosh 6 month study schedule so I'm currently at week one, will take new mock according to plan.

Btw it's better to maintain error log in Notebook or excel?

Hi 12921,

Since you'll be doing most of your GMAT work on a computer, you might find it beneficial to input all of your Mistake Tracker/Error Log notes into an Excel document (although you might also find that physically writing down those notes in a notebook could also aid your learning/retention process - and you can review those notes in a variety of different ways when away from your computer).

I've sent you a PM with some additional questions.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
