Hey GMATters,
If you hate repeating questions--and a lot of my clients do--I've put together this free PDF guide giving you a way to systematize the process.
It's a work in progress so I'm happy to hear any thoughts/comments!

Here's a sample:
How to Repeat GMAT Questions Effectively
It's painfully common for me to hear a new GMAT student say "I've bought all the books and the courses and downloaded things from the bad place and I have 20,000 questions so I'll never need to get bored and I'll never have to repeat a question!"
This is a student who will not reach 700-at least not without a serious mindset shift.
It really doesn't matter what you've read on the GMAT forums. Don't get me wrong: the forums are a great resource for explanations, but they're worse than a sewing circle for poisonous gossip about preparation strategy or judging the difficulty of questions.
Practice the Questions That You Get Wrong
Let's be honest. If a person learns ALL of the questions in the Official Guide and can do ALL of them in an efficient way in two minutes or less without excess expenditure of energy, that person should be able to reach 650+ on the GMAT.
By the way, when I say "in an efficient way," that VERY RARELY means "the way it's done in the back of the book." Word to the wise: OG explanations are "correct," but they're certainly not efficient.
The only realistic way to do this is to go through the Official Guide question-by-question, mark the questions in order of perceived difficulty, and then repeat the questions that you found difficult. Over and over. Until they're not difficult.
If that takes five times, ten times, or more, so be it. If it takes getting the questions explained by a professional like me, so be it. Getting help will be an investment in your future.
The Rub is This--
No one ever does it.
They don't complete the Guides!
They don't repeat the questions!
