About me: I am an outdoors person! I have a degree in Biogeochemistry, and I plan to enter graduate school in the same general field; however, I hope to have a greater focus on environmental remediation and conservation techniques ( I want to feel like I am actually helping!). I am an avid climber, mountain biker, writer, podcaster, meditator, and 'flow'-chaser. I really like coffee and yerba mate. Biggest challenge: Dude… as a scientist, I really considered myself a math person; however, the math was totally the hardest (and most fun) part of the test. The practice questions from Magoosh did a good job of keeping the challenge level just high enough to keep me engaged, but also didn't allow me to become discouraged. In other words, they promoted a very high level of stoke, which = optimal test preparation experience. It was actually fun to do my practice questions every morning! If I could change anything in my studies: I would keep it all the same. I only used Magoosh and only needed Magoosh! Having everything right there allowed me to diagnose weak areas quickly, become well-rounded, and to not spend a whole bunch of unnecessary time trying to conciliate disparate study materials (see what I did there?). Helpful tips for other students: Yes… just go ahead and get Magoosh. It was seriously worth it for me. Make sure to set a schedule for studying (e.g. 'I will do 20 math and verbal questions every day after 10 minutes of vocab review before I can have … [insert some rewarding thing... whether breakfast or being allowed to get on Facebook]." ) Also – this is a bit more unconventional tip, but dialing your diet and mental states many are really helpful tips (for life as well as test-taking). Obviously I can't outline that all here, but I can suggest quickly that it might be worth researching: 1. High-Fat & High-Vegetable Diets, Ketosis, and the effects on the brain, and As an individual, it will take a little self-experimentation, but turning on your mind in these two ways is really powerful. PS. If you want to hear more from Marshall, you should check out his podcasts on iTunes. They're pretty cool! By the way, students who use Magoosh GRE improve their scores on average by 8 points on the new scale (150 points on the old scale.) Click here to learn more. |
| <b>Study</b> confirms monkeys can do <b>math</b> | The Verge Posted: 22 Apr 2014 02:11 AM PDT Scientists have long suspected that monkeys are capable of mental arithmetics and a new study is helping them prove it. A research team led by neurobiologist Margaret Livingstone trained three rhesus macaques to identify symbols representing the numbers zero to 25. They then taught the test subjects how to perform addition. To eliminate the possibility of rote learning, the team had the monkeys learn an entirely different set of symbols representing the numbers zero to 25. The monkeys were able to reapply their previous knowledge to the new set and continue performing basic mathematics. The image above shows one of the monkeys preparing to choose the four and five combination on the panel. It has learned that the combined value is greater than eight and will therefore yield a larger number of liquid drops. According to the study, all three monkeys were on average capable of choosing the correct answer "well above" 50 percent of the time. This rules out the possibility of chance. What's also interesting is how the monkeys were routinely undervaluing the smaller number in a given equation. This challenges the idea that mammalian brains perceive numbers logarithmically and may help researchers better understand how human beings process numbers. |
