Plan for this week

So, Diwali's come and gone. And so have all my plans for studying. Not easy to do in the festive mood. Anyway, I finally pushed myself into completing PR Math Bin 3, and got 4-5 wrong out of 24 I think (will update with exact numbers later). That was Day 10. Have still not made an error log. Have still not taken Diagnostic. Still not done a single Practice GMAT under timed conditions. Wow, this is starting to really suck. 7 days of almost no solid GMAT prep. Yeesh! Anyway, we never lose hope. Here's the plan for the week...

Starting today...
20th, Tue - PR Bin 4 (5 qs) [Day 11]
21st, Wed - PR Bin 4 (10 qs)
(eve) make error log
22nd, Thu - PR Bin (left over qs)
(eve) error log (for morn qs)
23rd, Fri - CR from PR, few prac qs from Verbal Bin 2
(eve) 10 qs
24th, Sat - Verbal Bin 2 (complete)
(eve) Verbal Bin 3 (atleast 1/2) and error log update (if not done already)
25th, Sun - MGMAT free practice full-length timed test
(eve) analyze everything + make plan for next week

PS. At some point, might want to read up about AWA so that can answer MGMAT practice test with SOME clue!

Update/Day 9

Sorry for not updating earlier!

Day 6: MGMAT FCs - Word Translations (WT)
Day 7: MGMAT FCs - EIVs
Day 8: Theory (only formulas) for P&C, Interest (SI & CI), Sequences (AP,GP)
Day 9 (TODAY, 13th Oct): Just gave a 40 minute Math Diagnostic on MGMAT site. Was good! But questions were of 200-500 level. I got 19/20 questions right. The 1 I got wrong was silly - was a remainders question, and I should've just used common sense instead of trying to fit in a formula. Anyway, yay!

If I'm not too tired in the evening, I'll try doing some more from IMS BRM material on P&C...let's see.
Btw, I'm going to pay for GMAT by myself! :-) (earlier, my parents were going to)
I will be done with it by Dec end, and then...I'm going to apply to BCG, Bain & Co, and other consultancy firms in that league. I want to work there!!! I *will* work there.
GMAT studying, as you can see, is going at a slow pace, but it's consistent atleast. I want to try giving the OG11 diagnostic by this weekend (3-day weekend coming up! Yay Diwali!)

I'm off to try exercising a little before I go to office.

Happy studying!

Day 4 & 5

I didn't write because I had been unable to cross off things from my 'to do list' on time. Anyway, I am done now.
1. Word Problems theory from OG11
2. Make FCs for Word Problems


Day 6 to do:
MGMAT FCs - EIVs.

Pending:
Read Interest (CI & SI) from Career Launcher book.
Redo Time, Speed & Distance basics from TIME (in-class) notes last year.
P&C - class XII.

Day 3

Things to do:
1. OG11 Geometry review - read & make FCs.
2. MGMAT Geometry FCs.

That means I'm done with all the items on my Things To Do list for the day!!!

Add new concepts from MGMAT FCs to own FCs.

Day 2

Yesterday, I finished MGMAT FCs - Number Properties (NP).

Today:
1. Made FCs (flashcards) for OG11 Arithmetic section (not completed fully; permutation & combination - may need to use class XII books and tuition notes)
2. Went through MGMAT FCs FDPs(Fractions, Decimals & Percents)

On Saturday (10th Oct) I plan on giving the MGMAT Free Basic Math Diagnostic (find it here). You will need to register with MGMAT website for it.

Hope that your studying is going well!

Back after post Warm-up Test depression phase / Day 1

What I've done today (till 1:41 pm):
1. Some MGMAT flashcards: Number Properties - pretty basic till now
2. Read the 1st chapter of MGMAT SC Guide (the previous edition).

Related studying to be done:
1. Will try completing the rest in NP set in the car on my way back home today
2. Solve questions from the guide itself (considering solving OG11 qs mentioned in book as well)

Another addition to Math review is http://www.gmattutor.com/basics.html which includes a worksheet for math formulas or "things to remember"

PS. Today is a Monday. The beginning of a brand new week. The dawn of renewed enthusiasm for cracking the GMAT *whiplash*! Therefore, this is Day 1. And the countdown to GMAT on December 15th, 2009 begins.
