Hi shubh425,

Two suggestions:
- The chart will identify areas of weakness by topic. So, if you're scoring 90% in Geometry and only 40% in Statistics, you'll know to spend more time working on Stats.
- Use the flagging feature to indicate questions you guessed on, or are having problems understanding the solution. Then either post the question on BTG or search to see whether it has already been discussed.

BTW, here's the download page for the Improvement Chart: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/gmat-error-log
NOTE: the 2017 edition is coming very soon.

Those numbers look really good.
It looks like you know the content. You might focus on your test-taking skills. From your earlier post (https://www.beatthegmat.com/took-gmatpre ... 91376.html) , it sounds like you ran out of time.

Keep in mind that the GMAT is a test of your math and verbal skills AND it's a test of your test-taking skills (endurance, time management, anxiety control, etc). So, 750-level math/verbal skills combined with 650-level test-taking skills will likely result in a score that's closer to 650 than to 750.

I suggest that you take some more practice tests. You can build your test-taking skills AND identify any remaining area(s) of weakness.

While CAREFULLY analyzing your practice tests, there are four main types of weakness to watch out for:
1. specific Quant skills/concepts (e.g., algebra, standard deviation, etc.)
2. specific Verbal skills/concepts (e.g., verb tenses, assumption CR questions, etc.)
3. test-taking skills (time management, endurance, anxiety etc.)
4. silly mistakes

For the first two weaknesses, the fix is pretty straightforward. Learn the concept/skill and find some practice questions to strengthen that weakness. To focus on one topic at a time, you can use BTG's tagging feature to isolate one concept. For example, here are all of the questions tagged as statistics questions: https://www.beatthegmat.com/forums/tags/ ... statistics
See the left side of that linked page for more tag options.

If your test-taking skills are holding you back, then you need to work on these. For example, we have a free GMAT time management video at https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gener ... video/1244

Finally, if silly mistakes are hurting your score, then it's important that you identify and categorize these mistakes so that, during tests, you can easily spot situations in which you're prone to making errors. I write about this and other strategies in the following article: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/articles/avo ... teaks-gmat

I don't know of one.
