Hi Everyone!!
I want to share with you my way of studying OG12. I know this post might sound silly to some of you, but the method below helps to make the study process more organized and easier.
OG12 is very heavy. Sometimes even if I want to take book with me, it is not very convenient. I work full time, so if I want to go for a break and solve few problems, because of the size of this book and the fact that everyone knows that this is GMAT book:), I do not do that....and in general, when I look at this book, I feel sad. It is not because of the color, mostly because of the fact that this book is super heavy and looks like this preparation process will never end!
I found the solution. If you have the same way of thinking, my advice will help!! Trust me!!
I simply cut pages from this book for each topic, printed on a word document for example "Sentence Correction. Questions/ Answers" cover page. So you have cover page, all the problems after this page and then you can make a copy of the list of correct answers (I recommend the actual answer sheet leave in the book just in case) and you'll have the back cover as well. This is how I have five different tiny booklets. Feel free to use different colors of papers to organize the study process or name the booklets any way you want. Review of the answers you can do from the actual OG book at home. I use MGMAT's source to review OG12 math section. You can also print from excel the answer sheet for your answers in the same order they are written in OG12 answer sheet. This will help to review answers quicker and organize your studying process (You can solve problems by columns of the answer page). It will take less than half an hour to do, and this is really worth it!! You can go thrue these booklets as many times as you need:)
I wish each of you to get the desired score and get accepted to the school of your dream!!!
Regards,
Zhana

I hear your issue though, I work full time too, and a couple times ive sat in the cafeteria with the big OG11/12 and solve questions, i have had coworkers looking at me all curious wonderingw hat in the world i am studying for. Your idea is good, although personally I wouldn't break the OG book apart
