Trying to finish up Quant so that I can take a practice test, having gone through all the questions in the review guide.   I already finished verbal, so hoping to finish quant really soon.

Quant:
I'm making the same stupid mistakes again.  I NEED TO ANSWER THE RIGHT QUESTION!!!!!!  Stop taking useless shortcuts, and take the extra seconds to write the units of measure to make sure I'm organized.   WRITE DOWN THE UOM that the question is asking for.

For long work (w = r x t) problems, its probably going to be easier to plug in the answer choices.   Use this strategy for Quant for the actual GMAT.

For long word problems, read the problem twice:
1) Try to get the gist of the problem and not read the math.  Pay attention to the words/situation.
-organize and make a table or chart

2) go back and investigate the math
