Day Three Countdown : GMAT Training

Day 3 was a disaster! Fortunately, my ego was strong enough to endure a bad day.  I focused on the Verbal Section of the GMAT.  Usually, I do fairly well on the practice tests and practice problems.  I scored at least the 72^nd percentile on my last two Verbal Practice Exams offered through Manhattan GMAT.  About three months ago, I could not score higher than the 37^th percentile on the Verbal Section.  At the time, I had one major problem. I was reading too slowly.

I apologize for the rant. Yesterday, I did the following practice problems:

• Manhattan Review GMAT Verbal Study Guide:
• Sentence Correction Questions 185 -200
• Reading Passages 12 -13
• Kaplan Premier Program 2008 CD
• Critical Reasoning Test 2

I got 62.5% (10/16) of the sentence correction questions correct.  I barely exceeded 50% on Kaplan's CD Critical Reasoning section.  I only got 50% of the Reading Passages questions correct. I did poorly on Day 3.  I would have done more practice problems, but my brain did not cooperate.  I know I can do better.

In addition, I did some elementary math questions in Chapter 1 of EZ Solutions:  Algebra Module.  I need to know the basics. There is no guarantee that I will have all crazy math problems on the day that I sit for the GMAT! I have to prepare for everything!
