About this episode

Many students find the time limit to be the most difficult part of the GRE. However, there are some hotshots out there who can complete problem sets with a great deal of time to spare. This episode is for those individuals. If students are completing sets with several minutes left on the clock, and if these students are not yet achieving perfect scores, they are likely missing points from careless responding as a consequence of their solution rate. Orion shares strategies for addressing this issue.
