What is the best way to practice for your standardized test? It seems like a simple and straightforward question, but in reality there are a lot of different ways to structure your study sessions. The two most effective are block training, where you focus on one topic at a time until you master it, and random training, where you work on multiple disciplines within the same practice session. Is one method more effective than the other for your test-day results?

In this episode, Brett sheds light on this important question by relating insights from an NBA assistant coach, who has seen how block vs. random practice plays out on game day at the highest levels of athletic performance. Brett delineates key differences between block and random practice and explains that each has a different objective, and that they need to work together to build toward maximizing your test-day performance. Brett explains precisely how to balance block and random practice as you progress in your test preparation and shares an important tip for effective time management as well.

Your study sessions should be intentional and follow a proven methodology that produces results. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of what that looks like and how to implement it.

When you're applying to business school, you will almost certainly have to take one of these standardized tests as part of the application process: the GMAT Exam, the GRE, or the Executive Assessment (EA). The question becomes, which one?

In this conversation excerpted from Brett's recent appearance on MBA Waves, Brett breaks down the key differences between the three exams, explores which exam is best for which type of applicant, discusses the mindset you should adopt when starting to prepare for your exam, and shares the reasons you absolutely should NOT choose one test over another. He even lets slip which exam he would opt for if given the choice!

There's no need to stress about which exam to take. After listening to this wide-ranging conversation about the GMAT, GRE, and EA, we're confident that you will have a clear sense of the key decision points and a firm understanding of your next steps as you prepare to dominate your test.

June 2024 was the last LSAT with Logic Games. Love 'em or hate 'em, Logic Games were a huge part of the LSAT exam and a right of passage for many a law school candidate — and they are no more. RIP, Games. So what does this mean for you? What does the new version of the LSAT look like moving forward? How should you prepare for it? With Logic Games being replaced by a second Logical Reasoning section, how can you learn to love LR and get a great score on test day? We're joined by LSAT expert Dave Hall, LSAT instructor at Dominate Test Prep and founder of Velocity LSAT, to break it all down for you. The only constant is change, as they say, and this change to the LSAT presents a great opportunity for you to separate yourself from your peers by preparing effectively for the new-look LSAT. Dave is here to tell you how.
