Day 10

I spent an hour reading up on Overlapping Sets in the MGMAT Word Problem Strategy Guide. It was a refresher on sets, matrix and Vern diagrams, but I find that some of the solution methods taught in the guide are pretty time consuming. I think on exam day those solutions might take more than 2 minutes to complete, but it might be so at the moment because I've not done them in a while.

Day 9

Today I read on rates, work and population word problems, according to Day 13 of the BTG. Managed to study for an hour before work, and an hour after. I've only done half of the suggested reading for Day 13, and didn't do any of the related questions from the OG13. Either I need to study longer hours, or I need to speed up and study more efficiently. It has been more than a week since I've started tracking my progress on this blog but I've only managed to cover a few days of the BTG study guide. I'll try to finish up Day 13 tomorrow.

Day 8

I did some DS questions on word problems from the OG13 today, according to BTG Day12's study guide. I attempted each question without timing constraints to ensure that I fully understand the concepts. I'll work on timing later on once I'm more familiar and have slightly more stamina. I managed to get 82% of the questions correct, which is great because I don't have to spend additional time on this segment of word problems.

Day 7

I took my time after work to finish up BTG Day 12 on Word Problems. I took my time to attempt each question and I got 95% of the problem solving questions correct. Feeling a bit more motivated and will attempt the data sufficiency section on word problems tomorrow. I've also done some questions  to recap on functions.
