Well, Seems I was so exhausted by the end of yesterday, for finding the sum of numbers between n and m inclusive, just find their average and multiply by the no. of numbers, i.e: ((n+m)/2)*(m-n+1) Smile

OK, so my SC bootcamp is over, and I must say, it was needed.

I went through MG SC in details, and solved all the OG questions related to each chapter.

Out of the OG 138 SC questions I got 25 wrong and 113 right, which is not really bad.

My hit rate was 82% but most importantly I averaged at 1 min and 17 seconds in all questions. Few questions took over 1.5 min Thanks to MG StopWatch, which I knew of only recently, I managed to have a good sense of time while doing the questions sets. I ended up having my version of SC flashcards with 66 rules.

I am planning to go through these flashcards, beatthegmat flashcards, and then solve all the questions I got wrong once again during the course of next week.

In the past two days, I tried to break my SC boredom doing some Quantitative, so I went through all the Q questions in the MG CATs i did before…..revising those CATs was more important than doing them.

I did the second Kaplan CAT, and I second every one who said it's not wise to do the kaplan CATs shortly before the test day…I scored 550, I lost ten minutes from the verbal section, as I took a ten minutes break after the Q section while time was actually running in V, I got so annoyed and guessed the last two reading comprehension questions to save time for CR and SC. I am trying not to be harsh on my self as I know that Kaplan scales the scores down and I lost ten full minutes, but to be honest I feel down.

Ten days to go now.... I will stick to my plan, I will revise KAP CAT, redo the MG CATs' questions and the OG PS & DS questions I got wrong before, revise the SC flashcards before doing PR CAT III tomorrow.

Then I will focus on CR and RC for a couple of days, before putting it all together and do MG CAT V and VI
