GMAT Quant - Best way to improve your mistakes

by melguy » Sat May 25, 2013 10:40 pm
Hello All

I would like to know whats the best approach to not repeat the same mistakes / remember patterns of a Q . With GMAT quant what I am currently doing is going through the GMAT PrepNow learning guide ( watching videos and attempting OG 13 questions. I am keeping a track of all the wrong and correct questions in an error log but currently I am not going back to see why I did something wrong as its a very time consuming process.

I am thinking it would be best to finish all the OG 13 questions and then re-attempt all the wrong questions. Then copy and paste the full questions with explanation and reason why I made a mistake. Considering there are questions that I got correct as well so I can quickly know which ones I have no problems with vs which ones are troublesome problems.

Experts, kindly confirm if this is the best approach (def. saves a lot of time) or should I review questions immediately after getting it wrong (and progress very slow)?

Thanks for your inputs.
