Schools nationally have delivered IM-Powered䲡ining with the nationally standardized Woodcock Johnson exam administered before and after IM training to measure its effect on academic performance. The results for over 4,000 students who have completed the training are as follows:
⥡ding fluency increase by 2.2 Grade levels
�h fluency increase by 1.6 Grade levels
A major scientific study, conducted by two universities, of over 700 students in a large public high school indicates similar results as above versus a matched- control group. More detailed information will become public.
Whereas other exam preparatory services such as Kaplan and Sylvan are limited to training for exam purposeses alone, IM is a series of proven brain exercises that aims to improve one's core mental process capability. As such, leading magnate schools across America use IM training not only as a study aid for the SAT, ACT and FCAT, but moreso to improve reading and grades.
Dr. Stephen Goldstein, a Ph.D and published academic, host of widely-viewed television interview programs, has conducted an in-depth evaluation of the research and results of IM training. Click here to read his conclusion in a letter to parents.
