the dreaded ERROR LOG

I'm working through my "study plan" for my 2nd attempt and I'm trying to use my error log on a more regular basis. If I get a problem wrong in any of the OG books, I log it here and note it in a spreadsheet that has all the answers for each OG book I have. I will redo some of the problems,...

I did the MGMAT 9 week class and my teacher was really great, I did most of the homework and now I'm studying on my own.
