Episode 59: Should you get a study buddy? (the pros and cons of social studying)

Getting a study buddy to prepare for the GRE can be an excellent idea for a variety of reasons. For example, working in conjunction with a friend can improve compliance and provide accountability. It also creates teachable opportunities, if the two of you possess complementary strengths. Orion discusses methods of structuring social study time to minimize distraction and prevent idle socializing.
