Sequence Basics (and a hard GRE OG question explained)

In “Law School and the GRE: Trend or Fad?” I noted the increasing number of U.S. law schools that are now accepting the GRE in addition to the long-standing LSAT for admissions.

Correlation between the GRE and Graduate School Performance
Historically, graduate schools in the United States (and increasingly around the world) have relied heavily on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) for selecting students. More recently, however, the weight of standardized tests including the GRE has varied among schools and programs. Indeed, we’ve pointed out in a previous article on GRE percentile rankings that a “good” […]
Study: Meditate for a Higher GRE Score
I just finished reading a great book called Into the Magic Shop by Dr. James Doty, a neurosurgeon who explores the mysteries of the brain and tells his story of learning at a young age the importance of calming your inner voice and unlocking the desires of the heart. As I was reading about how […]
