Eric,

Someone told me I have to make a flash card and put thought and time into it for each problem I got wrong (verbal and math). Well, I have over 200 handwritten colorful flashcards, but here's the deal. I still have 200 problems unsloved in OG, never touched the Verb and Math books (300 each), and the test is on Tuesday. I'm not scared any more, as the level of stress (and throwing chairs and yelling at computer and books) reached its maximum yesterday night. Now I'm just calm and as they adviced in Kaplan's stress thingy "confident". What's your advice:

1) regarding all the unused material I have on my hands,
2) use of all these flashcards in the next 7 days

THANK YOU.

Hi Yuri:

I'm not super clear on the questions you are asking, but let me give it a shot.

I wouldn't spend any more time putting together flashcards for the remainder of your OG material. Instead, I would simply go through the remaining questions and do a quick analysis (perhaps in your head) of the questions you got wrong.

With regard to the flashcards you have made--I would make a point of reviewing them at least once per day.

Good luck, you're almost there!
