I've got a quick GMAT study tip for you today. We tell our students to think critically and strategically when approaching problems on the GMAT. So, for those of you who need a cognitive boost or who like a little ambient noise while you\u2019re studying, I found a helpful little website with associated apps. It\u2019s called\u00a0Coffivity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the site,<\/p>\n

\"Research shows it's pretty hard to be creative in a quiet space. And a loud workplace can be frustrating and distracting. But, the mix of calm and commotion in an environment like a coffee house is proven to be just what you need to get those creative juices flowing. Our team has delivered the vibe of a coffee shop right to your desktop, which means when your workspace just isn't quite cutting it, we've got you covered. Coffitivity. Enough noise to work.\" (Read the research here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/10.1086\/665048<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n

The site has links to Android, iPhone, and iPad apps as well as a Mac Desktop app.<\/p>\n

My favorite thing about Coffivity is that you can choose among different ambient coffee shop sounds, including Morning Murmur, Lunchtime Lounge, and University Undertones. Delicious double espresso aroma is not included.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been using this for background sound when music is too distracting and silence feels strange, and it\u2019s just right, so I wanted to share it with you all so that you can give it a try next time you\u2019re plowing through\u00a0GMAT practice problems\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0and need a change of pace.<\/p>\n
