Week 1 - Jan 2 - Kaplan Practice Questions & Error Review

What I did
  • 10 Practice Questions from Kaplan
  • Review Errors (7 out of 10 correct, 3 slow)
I analyzed my errors using the method Kaplan has in the answers section as well as this article by Beat the Gmat.

Find your weaknesses

Roadblocks
1. Question Stem
• Identify the question type
• Forgot what strategies to employ

2. Stimulus
• Unable to digest the dense language
• Struggle to identify the assumption
• Unable to Form a confident prephrase
• Misread the scope

3. Answer Choices
• Did no answer seem correct?
• Did more than one answer seem correct?
• Misread the scope of the stimulus?
• Struggled to connect the ideas in the answer choices to the ideas in the stimulus?

Blindspots
• What you thought you were doing right?
• What you were doing wrong?
• What happened?

Reinforce your strengths
• Read explanations you got right
