The difference between the student scoring in the 80th percentile and the one scoring in the 90th isn't knowledge or even technique -- but rather the ability of the latter to systematically reduce her careless responding. Carelessness is the problem that never goes away; however, if you approach this reality strategically and conscientiously, you can mitigate its effect on your performance. This is essential and unavoidable for anyone hoping to achieve a top-percentile score on the GRE. In this episode, Orion will talk more on how to do just that.
