Today marks the first day of studying for the GMAT seriously. Joann has been a great encouragement to me, especially by frequently calling me "elite".  I frequently undervalue my abilities or intellect, partially so I can make an excuse for not succeeding in career or gmat.  That's a loser mentality and I want to shake that off completely.  Another reason to kick the GMAT's ass!

Today I've started with Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning.

The take away today is for me to find the cue words that let me know the attitude of the passage/author. Noting the mood of the author and the critical.  Sounds simple, but under time pressure I can easily forget this simple step to find the correct answer through process of elimination.

Find a way to not miss key words when reading questions or passages. Read out loud?

For Quant don't be afraid to write a long formula, at least for now.  Learning the basics is good, and can sometimes help wasting time finding a "magical" shortcut.

Remainder = Decimal multiplied by divisor.  Ex. 0.12t    

The Trick is to find a value so that t is an integer
