Prep Update - 27.01.11

I have been following the 60 Day BTG Study Plan. Though I subscribed quiet sometime ago, I have not been following it everyday as I should have.

Today was the 6th day. Things covered :

• In the Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition:
• Review the section on Percents (p. 113-114)
• Review the sections on Mixture Problems, Interest Problems, Discount and Profit, and Sets (p. 142-144)
• In the Official Guide for GMAT Review, 12th Edition, tackle the following Percent questions:
• Problem Solving: 8, 10, 13, 17, 19, 47, 60, 64, 78, 92, 94, 111, 115, 123, 124, 128, 131, 139, 151, 156, 187, 193, 200, 202, 220
• Data Sufficiency: 2, 7, 21, 33, 37, 52, 55, 63, 67, 79, 89, 142, 143
• Watch the video, Percent Change
• Watch the video, Finding Percents
• Read this article, Interest and Compound Interest Problems

Though the 60 Day Plan also recommends referring to Kaplan Premier book, I am just following OG-12. 

For the above problems my score was - 

PS - 13 Correct out of 25

DS - 4 Correct out of 13

As you can PS I am still not able to go beyond the 50-50 ratio and DS remains my Achilles heel. :-(

I also did a thorough review and I seem to be making the same careless mistakes every time. :-(  

Any advise? 

Along side I am also studying SC and referring to Manhattan SC which refers to OG-10 Verbal for problems.

For today I went thru Parallelisms (Pg-75-83, Manhattan SC) and then solved around 49 problems from OG-10 Verbal. Scored 25 Correct. Here again I am not able to break through the 50:50 ratio. 

Tomorrow seems to be a busy day with reviewing the 49 SC questions. 

Laters!
