In this episode, I'm talking about how you can improve your brainstorming skills.
If brainstorming is hard for you, know that you're not alone! Many test takers report this as being one of their pain points!
The episode revisits key concepts from a previous discussion on mindset and creativity and offers practical tips to improve brainstorming under pressure.
We'll also cover the importance of generating multiple ideas, avoiding the pursuit of the perfect idea, and using strategies like bullet points, shorthand, and symbols during brainstorming.
I also talk about a fun game that you can play that will help you practice your brainstorming and quick thinking skills.
