Days 9, 10, 11, and 12: Maths !

Havent had a chance to update my blog over the past few days ... has been absolutely manic. Went back to work on the 2nd of Jan.
Here's a summary of the past few days:

Day 9: New Years Day - did some practice questions.

Day 10: back at work. Was a very busy first day back at work. Didnt really get a chance to do some real GMAT study, but still managed to logon to some forums and answer some practice questions. I think its incredibly important to at least do something related to the GMAT, even if you cant do a full 3 hour study session due to work committments. This keeps the momentum going.

Day 11: 2nd day back at work ... and it is certainly is a busy start to the new year. Reviewed some of the maths which I had completed in days 1-7.

Day 12 (Geometry Day): Today, I focussed wholly on Geometry. Used the PR Cracking the GMAT, OG 11th Edition Math, and completed the www.prepfortests.com/gmat/tutorials/geometry, making extensive notes as well as putting together my Geometry flash cards.
Looked into this topic (Geometry) in detail today. Wanted to ensure I understood everything in this area back to front, and also wanted to make sure I knew which formula to apply when.
Covered Polygons (Triangles (Equilaterals, Isoceles, Right Triangles (3:4:5; 1:1:sq2; 1:sq3:2), Pythagorean Theorem, calculating areas of triangles), Quadrilaterals (Parallelogram, Rhombus, Square, Rectangle), Pentagon, Hexagons), Circles, Solids/Volumes (Cuboids/Cylinders), and Coordinate Geometry.
Completed the practice questions from www.prepfortests.com/gmat/practicequestions/geometry and managed to correctly answer 13 out of 16. The 3 that I didnt answer correctly, was due to carelessness and loss of focus, after a full day of studying and working !
Also looked at some Geometry practice questions from the Kaplan Gmat 800 book for additional practice.


Summary:
Need to learn the topics inside out in order to be able to answer a lot of these questions quickly (under the 2 minutes per question limit).
Need to practice practice practice ... to be able to quickly identify which theorem/formula etc to apply to solve the problem.
The key to the tougher geometry questions ... is to just get started with breaking the problem down, and just start working from there.

To date, I havent been timing myself in answering questions. Need to start focussing more on timing.
Also havent yet touched any of the Verbal topics. Plan to start looking at the Verbal part next week.
