Status Update: Unstructured Learning

by Megan Taylor on February 14, 2012

Thus far, the Unstructured Learning plan is going really well.

My Progress

Fundamentals of Accounting Text

I’m currently working on the homework for Chapter 4 of the Textbook, which I read last Thursday. This puts me right on schedule with where I would be if was still in class. This Thursday I will read Chapter 5, and by then I need to have Chapter 4 homework done.

Interesting side note: At the beginning of chapter 4, I discovered that there is a software package that goes with the text book which is used to teach the student about software-based accounting. I picked up the software package for $12, where it normally costs $50. Score. :)

GMAT

I took a GMAT practice test, without any studying, and got a 520, which is 40 points less than the lowest score I need to get into CU-Denver’s business college.

I missed more than half of the math questions (no surprise there, as it’s been a long time since Geometry and Algebra II in middle school), so I know I’ve got to brush up on my math skills. I also missed a third of the reading question, but I finished that section the test with 25 minutes to spare. What that means is that I need to slow down and read more carefully, but 2/3rds right isn’t too bad.

I need to step up my study schedule on the GMAT, as I have to have taken the actual test before the April 15th early admissions deadline. As February is almost half-over, I realize that April 15th isn’t actually that far away.
