A woman solved 100 math problems daily for four months to crack Harvard's business school entrance exam. She bought eight test-prep books from Barnes & Noble and pushed past her initial score ceiling. She calls it "pure violence" but says massive deliberate practice works for any skill.
I did 100 math problems every day. So there was this standardized test I had to pass to get into business school, and I wanted to score above Harvard's mid-score. But my score wasn't above Harvard's mid-score, not even close. And so I bought every book at Barnes Noble. It was a stack this big, and I went to the math section, which was my weakness, and I did every problem in there in all 8 books over 4 months. And by the time that I took the test, I was able to score above that. And it was pure violence. And I think you can apply that to whatever it is you want to get good at.
