Beat The GMAT!

Beat The GMAT is a day-to-day blog detailing how I studied for and beat the Graduate Management Admission Test™ (GMAT). This site shall serve as a study guide for future GMAT test takers.



Day 25 - Algebra Chapter in Math Workbook


The Algebra chapter in the Kaplan Math Workbook is poo. Skim the lessons in this section and go straight to the practice problems.

Late last night, I had a mini-panic attack about my verbal abilities. I realized that on every practice test I have taken, I have consistently scored lower on the verbal than on the quantitative--my average is in the low 40s. As a result, I went on a spontaneous shopping visit to Amazon.com and purchased Kaplan 800, 2005-2006 edition. It should be here early next week--I'll let you know if it's worth the money.

FYI, for those of you out there who are serious about prepping for the GMAT (i.e., all of you), I advise you to consistently visit/contribute to gmat discussion forums. There are a lot of great contributors who have posted and attached a ton of useful resources regarding everything GMAT, including strategies and practice problems.

Be forewarned--it is highly addictive and may lead to loss of libido .

SUMMARY OF DAY 25 WORK:
1. Algebra Chapter in Kaplan Math Workbook, pages 97-125.

RECAP OF DAY 25 INSIGHTS:
1. Skim this Algebra chapter.
2. Visit the Beat The GMAT Forum!

hey there,
I follow ur blog very closely.. Keep up the good work!I find ur write-ups very useful,coz am a future test-taker myself.I just have this one question.Do u keep an error log for each and every test/excercise u take in the Kaplan Math Work out? Or do u keep track of the errors made only in the full length practice tests? Wud be great if u cud lemme know abt this. I'm a member in Test Magic. Got to know abt ur blog from ur posts there.

That's a great question. Initially, I took error logs of exercises I did in the PR and Kaplan books, but I stopped doing that. To be honest, I got lazy. However, I do plan to keep very detailed error logs when I tackle Unofficial Guide. Since those questions are actual GMAT questions I want to be very mindful of what I am doing right and wrong, to identify my strengths and weaknesses. For every full length practice test, I have been taking error logs. Thanks for checking out my site and best of luck!
