Can someone give me some tips on how to use the "Performance Summary" in the gmat error log excel file? There's a ton of data there and the last thing I have time for is to try to figure out how it all works and how best to use it. A quick guide would be super helpful! Thanks

Thanks, but I guess I wasn't really looking for technical help but more for advice on how to apply the results to my studying.

Hi Joanna,
I wouldn't worry too much about the Performance Summary portion of this error log. What's more important is getting into the practice of recording your practice question sets and having the ability to review later on. What is going to be important later on in your prep is figuring out the patterns of topics/question types where you consistently have issues. This will allow you to hone in on your weaknesses and do more prep in those areas to improve your score.
Here's a great forum post that outlines the methodology of practicing with an error log: https://www.beatthegmat.com/gmat-practic ... s-t68.html
Hope that answers your question, good luck!
