Mindfulness and top performance on the GRE: Focus is the mother of excellence

More than anything else, the GRE is a test of sustained mindfulness. The only way to achieve a top-percentile score is to completely eliminate carelessness, which demands that a student consciously attend to every step of every problem over nearly four-and-a-half hours. This is not easy to do. In this episode, Orion will discuss the relationship between mindfulness and top performance on the GRE, including the results of his own doctoral dissertation study which examined the effect of a brief mindfulness task on reading comprehension.
