Unfinished Topics

Every time I decide to take the GMAT, I start with MGMAT guides. I want to complete the following, but always find that I am not able to complete it. This is because I get interrupted by other stuff. As soon as I take the GMAT, I'm usually mentally exhausted, that I don't feel like looking at GMAT books for a while. But this time, I need to go with the flow and complete the following. Here are the topics that are unfinished.
  1. 4GMAT
  2. LSAT tests
  3. Gmatclub tests
  4. Kaplan tests
  5. Kaplan 800
  6. All of Ron's sessions plus taking notes on quant sessions 
  7. MGMAT SC - Idioms
  8. Quantum CAT

My view on LSAT

LSAT Critical Reasoning is hard. I realized that after completing 200 questions from LSAT CR. For anyone who is reading the passage first and then the CR question, it is going to be double HARD. Listen to Ron. I was able to reduce my errors by reading what I'm looking for FIRST. Then I went ahead and looked for what ever it was I'm supposed to be looking for. Otherwise, the answer choices will trick you into choosing something insane.

Skipped a day

Took time to go over my strategy for CR and didn't really do anything according to plan.

GMAT Prep I

Scored 750 with 48 Quant and 44 Verbal. Made 11 mistakes in quant and 4 in verbal. Score must be skewed as most of the passages were familiar to me. My plan is to minimize the number of mistakes in quant and verbal and gain mastery on both. As this test is the closest indicator of actual performance, I would be taking this test, at least the quant portion, as many times as possible.
