Day-9

My RC performance has increased significantly. And my CR is coming up too. I am finding the Manhattan Quant books to be of very good use. I would suggest them to anyone who plans to take GMAT. Though, Quant is one section I am confident of, it may happen that it ends up being my biggest mistake. I have booked the dates and in another 10 days time, I should be done with all the five quant books from Manhattan and the SC guide. The challenge is to keep my practice of RC & CR going steady till I finish with the rest of them. Inspiration and motivation are highly required values. Without them, this journey to the marathon has every chance to falter.

1. Completed Manhattan FDP’s guide
2. Notes completed on FDP’s.
3. 3 LSAT RC (9/9 18 Mins, 8/9 18 Mins, 8/9 18 Mins)

Day-7

Handling job, life and GMAT becomes hard. Needless to say, your focus needs to grow, your nerves should be able to hold for more and your skills should have a positive gradient. Talent, genius and hard work, they say, always takes a backseat. Perseverance wins and is godly. Believe me, i am here not to give knowledge sessions but to lay down a reality i face each day. As i progress through this journey to my dream score, on the seventh day, things look tougher, wilder and more diverse than ever before. What lies ahead scares me but yeah, thats the fun of it. Every step should be a memorable one as you walk through the wild terrains. And one more thing which surprises me is the impact on performance which comes of a fresh mind.

Day -7

1. Chapter 3, Manhattan Review SC in progress.
2. 2 LSAT RC (8/9-16 mins, 5/7-15 Mins)
3. 20 Questions of LSAT CR (14/20, 37 Mins)

Day-6

It was a very bad day for me. It has failure written all over it. I took two 30 Min, 20 Questions LSAT CR tests and i performed poorly to my surprise. I never expected to get a score of 11/20 in two consecutive CR's. It posts a serious question about the format type of LSAT CR's and i am trying to get some more info regarding that. By my next post, i should have got the info i need. GMAT is all about temperament and keeping your cool. I shouldn't have tried giving RC tests just after these two disasters. But i did and i as usual, my scores dipped there too. While i was good on the timing front, i scored 6/8 and 3/9 in two LSAT RC tests. A lot..lot...lot needs to be corrected. I have to make a code delivery today at work today...so that is it for today.

Day-6

1. 2 30 Min, 20 Q LSAT CR Tests (11/20 & 11/20)
2. 2 LSAT RC (6/8 16 Mins, 3/9 18 Mins)
