Can someone give me some tips on how to use the "Performance Summary" in the gmat error log excel file? There's a ton of data there and the last thing I have time for is to try to figure out how it all works and how best to use it. A quick guide would be super helpful! Thanks

Thanks, but I guess I wasn't really looking for technical help but more for advice on how to apply the results to my studying.

Hi Joanna,

I wouldn't worry too much about the Performance Summary portion of this error log. What's more important is getting into the practice of recording your practice question sets and having the ability to review later on. What is going to be important later on in your prep is figuring out the patterns of topics/question types where you consistently have issues. This will allow you to hone in on your weaknesses and do more prep in those areas to improve your score.

Here's a great forum post that outlines the methodology of practicing with an error log: https://www.beatthegmat.com/gmat-practic ... s-t68.html

Hope that answers your question, good luck!

"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."
