Hi, I was looking over the study organizer and it seems that OG problems are not included in every night's homework. I was wondering if there was a way that I can incorporate OG problems everynight in my study as,I feel that reading/Practice sets is not enough.
Further, in the first lecture it was said to do some every night, can I get more specific guidance on this? For example, if I am working on numer properties - should I only be using the OG Math review book for Number property questions?
Thankyou!

Re: Doing OG Problems every night

You can do some OG every night if you would like, but you should not do particular OG problems until you have learned the material that you need to learn in order to do well with those particular problems. Otherwise, it's not a great use of your time.
As a general rule, don't move to OG problems until you have finished a particular chapter (including the in-action problems) and feel relatively comfortable with the material. If you are working on a new chapter tonight but don't finish it, you could go back and do a few OG problems from something you studied last night or last week - that's a nice way to review.
It's good to do some homework every day / night (though you don't have to do OG problems, specifically, every night) because your brain learns better when it's given smaller chunks to process. Your brain also learns better when it's given varied tasks - so you do want to mix things up a bit. Do some reading, do some practice sets, make some flash cards, quiz yourself with some flash cards you made over the past week, do a few OG problems (either with the current material, if you're ready, or material you learned recently, as review).
It's also a good idea to save some OG problems for review later on (either later in the course or after the course is over). That's why we typically recommend "saving" one set of questions. You can either use the two smaller books (quant only and verbal only) during the course, while saving OG12 for review, or vice versa - it's up to you. Some teachers think the two smaller books contain an easier pool of questions, and therefore want you to save OG12 for later review, and some teachers don't have a preference.
