Hello all, at first I decided to NOT keep a journal log but after some thought I think that I will progress faster if I do. So I just wanted to ask anyone who has had success with the GMAT who have kept an error log a couple questions. First off, What was the way in which you kept the log? Did you copy the question along with the answers And write why you got the question wrong? Or was there another way? Secondly, After copying down everything, How did you make the log of any use? Did you reattempt the questions? Or did you just study them? Any advice or tips on how to keep a proper error log would be helpful. Please and thank you.

Hey there -- glad to hear you are thinking about how to incorporate an error log into your studies. A tough transition, but an important one.

I've attached a link to an article from my dear friend Stacey -- I think you'll find this answer a lot of outstanding questions that you may have.

Hope this helps!

All the best,

Brian

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
