Hi,
I started my Quant prep 15 days back, and went through the OG12 topic wise.
Here is the Summary:
Problem Solving >> 199 / 230 (86.5%)
- I have noticed that almost 19 answers were incorrect due to Silly Calculations or just that I missed a part of ques or interpreted incorrectly. However, rest of them I got it as for Concept
Data Sufficiency >> 131 / 174 (75.28%)
- Again, here 16 incorrect answers were due to the Careless calculations and rest of them (what I feel) I could not interpret the statements into equations at times.
Overall, I kept almost 70 questions still on Concept Review.
I suppose the above count for Silly mistakes is huge.
Please advise on how can I better avoid my careless mistakes and how can I work better on the DS segment.
Materials available:
1) GMAT Quant Review 2nd Edition
2) GMAT Question Pack I
3) OG12 and OG13
4) Maths Bible
Note:- I am scheduled for GMAT Exam on 6th Oct, and have to prepare for Verbal as well, which is bit weak as compared to Quant and need to concentrate more on to it.
