Best way to work through all the problems in OG 12?

by chendawg » Sat Sep 25, 2010 1:36 pm
Has anyone formulated a set of problems to do over a month(or some sort of timeline) to get through all the problems in OG 12? I know BTG has come up with its own 60 day prep version, but it doesn't include all the quant problems and also it's broken down into one particular area for each day. If anyone has broken down the quant and verbal sections into problem sets with different areas included and "difficulty" (in quotes cuz it's so subjective and doesn't matter!), that would be awesome.

I have come to realize that I retain information best when I do a whole bunch of areas and mix in quant and verbal instead of concentrating a whole block of time one one area. Thanks in advance!

After some thought I realized I could just use a random sequence generator. If anyone wants to use it, here's the link:

Here's my 10 day list for quant PS if anyone cares lol

When you say mixing problem areas do you mean that you switch from Verbal to Math after every question or after every 75 minutes or so? If you're switching between every question- watch out! You should practice like you're going to play, that is, on the day of the test you're going to be working on one section for 75 minutes at a time so you should get used to doing it that way.

Yep, I agree, practice like you play. When I say switch from Verbal to Math, I definitely do not mean between questions. What I'm saying is after I do quant practice problems and then review my answers, I also do verbal in the same session. Honestly my main problem area is my stamina, which I am trying to work on. I find that after 18-19 or so problems my brain is losing focus and "getting tired". I am missing most of my problems around this point. I figure the only way to bust through is just keep doing practice problems. Thanks for the help!
