So, completed my first day of core study. Not really as 'core' as I would like it to be, but I'm not too unhappy with myself either. I didn't start off with an absolute bang, but then I never expected to. (Can I "blame" it on there being guests at home all day?? :) ) Anyway, the start was enough to build momentum moving forward.
Taking a hint from the OG diagnostic test, I started off with math, from Kaplan Math. My overly ambitious target of completing the whole book today turned out to be more of an embarassment to myself and my planning, than confidence. In all, I completed just one chapter - Arithmetic. If this book is anything to go by for GMAT math, I'd say it wasn't difficult at all. Having said that, I did make a few mistakes here and there. The good thing about the book is that it has 3 levels of practice questions - Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. I'd say Basic is there just for the heck of it, but Intermediate and Advanced did have some tricky questions. The only thing I would want is more questions - there are just too few.
However cliched this might sound, the mistakes I made were all 'careless mistakes'. I'd personally prefer to call them 'I-can't-believe-you-can-be-this-stupid mistakes'. What it pointed to is my concentration, or rather the lack of it. That's because the latter half of the section, which I did late at night, in the quiet, I got all answers correct.
I need to complete Kaplan math tomorrow, which I'm sure will be quite a task. But with an idea of how much time/effort it requires, I guess I'll plan out the day better.
SUMMARY OF WORK
Kaplan math - Introduction & Arithmetic chapter, pages 1-96
LESSONS LEARNT
1. GMAT math is not difficult. It's just a little tricky. All you need is presence of mind.
2. Concentrate, concentrate, concentrate! You'll see the difference.
3. Ban guests for a month.
