GMAT Strategy

Hi Guys,

This is my first post on BeatTheGmat. Just got myself registered.

Hey Eric, i read your blog, 80 days of preparation. It was really helpful in drawing my strategy to Beat the Gmat (am sure i will) :twisted:

Coming back to the subject, to make life little easy, i have designed an Excel Sheet to track the performance as a whole (accuracy, speed, mistake, type of mistake etc.) at a shot.

You can keep record of your speed, confidence level, accuracy, and the type of mistake you made (if u made any). You can do your analysis and work on weaknesses. There is also an eliminator to help you answering by elimination method

I was answering 1000 SC (can be used for CR or any other type of questions) and thought of making this. The ideas are borrowed from various resources (suggestions by Eric Eric on his blog, and by Ursula mentioned on her blog)

Its fairly simple to use. Just read the comments on the column heads (you read comments by placing the pointer of the mouse on the respective cell and comment appears).You just have to fill in the data and you can see your success rate on the top left corner.

I have filled-in few entries to help you out a bit.

One important point to keep in mind, DO NOT WRITE IN THE 'ACCURACY' COLUMN, as it has a formula, which, on its own, checks if your answer was wrong ot right, and your accuracy rate is calculated on this.

So guys, use this as you performance tracker. If you find this ca be made better, let me know and i shall incoeporate the suggestions made by you.

Do let me know if it is helpful (for me, it certainly is)

Cheers....
