The hard yards

It's very hard to catch up once you've fallen behind, and it's so easy to fall behind.

This past week I went to Veritas Prep Class 11 (Sentence Correction 2) and Class 12 (Combinatorics).

Combinatorics is quite difficult. I'm not sure how I'm going to get across it other than by slowly going through the concepts. But work is picking up and I'm finding less and less time to devote to this stuff.

Anyway, here's an update of what I've done in the last week:
- Finished Class 9 (Critical Reasoning 2) On Demand video and Homework. About 4 hours.
- Finished Class 10 (Stats and Problem Solving) On Demand videos and Homework. About 6 hours.
- Attended Veritas Prep Class 11 (Sentence Correction 2) and Class 12 (Combinatorics). About 6 hours.

So my to do list is still quite long.

In terms of quant:
- Class 6 (Geometry): Homework.
- Class 8 (Data Sufficiency): On Demand video + homework.
- Class 12 (Combinatorics): On Demand video + homework.

In terms of verbal:
- Class 5 (Sentence Correction 1) and Class 9 (Sentence Correction 2): On Demand videos + homework.

I also want to do another practice GMAT test this weekend.

Running tally to date:

  • 84 hours of prep work (including going through materials, doing practice questions, attending class, and checking answers and mistakes; does NOT include taking practice CAT exams) since 3 January 2011.
  • 3 CAT exams.
    • 620/40Q/35V, 05.01.11 [GMATSim1]
    • 610/33Q/41V, 12.01.11 [800Score1]
    • 660/42Q/40V, 29.01.11 [GMATPrep].

  1. Yes, it is very hard to pick up after a break - we need a couple of days to adjust to the GMAT mode again.
    Combinatorics and Probability is definitely hard and is a topic that I'm doing only superficially! Just for the sake of 1-2 questions on the test, I'm not going to waste too much time on it...so how was your next CAT?
