60 day challenge: go on with 2nd half or analyze 1st half

[123nobody321]

Hi,

I am currently doing the 60 day challenge. But for me it is more a general study plan as I do not stick to the day-to-day rhythm. I normally takes me around 2-3 days to complete one day of the challenge (mostly because I can only spend like 1-2h a day).

At the moment I am halfway through the challenge. That means, that I would start with the verbal part of the GMAT. Because of devastating mock exams (1st exam: 510, 2nd exam: 550) I read through some of the articles and success stories. What I could see in most of the posts was that people had an error log and deeply analyzed it. I use the GMAT Prep Now Improvement Chart in order to log my errors. Right now, I have almost all quant questions filled in and I am questioning myself whether I should go on with the 60 day challenge and start (more or less from scratch) with the verbal part, or if I should analyze my error log, try to find my weaknesses and study the particular topics in detail?

Answers are much appreciated.

Best,
nobody

I suggest that you move onto Verbal.

First, Day 42 is the last day of new content, so there will be plenty of time to strengthen any weaknesses you have identified.
Second, and more importantly, I think there is some "mental fermentation" when people first learn/re-learn ideas/concepts. So, take a break from math for a bit, and trust that you won't forget all of the math you've studied.

Cheers,
Brent
