Day 31 - Kaplan CAT 1 Analysis


I was pretty lazy with my Kaplan CAT 1 analysis today. Normally, after I take a full-length practice test, I spend the next day recording my errors onto an error log spreadsheet, and then copy all the problems I got wrong with explanations onto a Word document.

But today I looked at my crazy Kaplan test from yesterday and saw that I had got close to 30 questions wrong. I realized that it would take me about 4 hours to copy these questions and explanations onto a Word document (Kaplan doesn't allow cutting and pasting!)--it would be a pain in the ass, so I thought to myself--screw it!

Instead, I just recorded my errors onto my usual grid and broke them down by question type. I don't feel so bad about ignoring the review of the questions I missed because I plan to do very thorough work when I get to the Official Guide. Here, a thorough analysis pays off much more since the Official Guide uses actual GMAT questions.

Anyway, I'm excited to finish the book I'm currently reading, Into Thin Air. Very glad to put GMAT aside for the rest of the evening.

SUMMARY OF DAY 31 WORK:
1. Partial analysis of Kaplan CAT 1 practice test, off of CD, using this spreadsheet.

RECAP OF DAY 31 INSIGHTS:
1. It's never good to be lazy, but sometimes it's gotta happen.
