Let's face it: the reading comprehension passages on the GRE can be decontextualized, tedious, and boring. This is a dangerous combination, as it can significantly increase the likelihood that students zone out when they should be paying attention. In today's episode, Davis and Orion discuss two psych hacks that allow students to improve their focus on this half of the verbal section. Neither is a silver bullet, but both might move the needle in a meaningful way.
