72. Is Random or Block Practice Better for Test-Day Results?

6/30/2025
What is the best way to practice for your standardized test? It seems like a simple and straightforward question, but in reality there are a lot of different ways to structure your study sessions. The two most effective are block training, where you focus on one topic at a time until you master it, and random training, where you work on multiple disciplines within the same practice session. Is one method more effective than the other for your test-day results? In this episode, Brett sheds light on this important question by relating insights from an NBA assistant coach, who has seen how block vs. random practice plays out on game day at the highest levels of athletic performance. Brett delineates key differences between block and random practice and explains that each has a different objective, and that they need to work together to build toward maximizing your test-day performance. Brett explains precisely how to balance block and random practice as you progress in your test preparation and shares an important tip for effective time management as well. Your study sessions should be intentional and follow a proven methodology that produces results. By the end of this episode, you'll have a better understanding of what that looks like and how to implement it.
