The+Study

**My** **Study** I conducted a study at Craven Early College. The 10th grade American History class graciously let me conduct an experiment on them. My study was a bit different than previous ones conducted. Instead of giving an IQ test, they were taking a regular history test. Two of the classes listed to Mozart before the test, and the other two classes listened to it during the test. Surprisingly every class gained in total percentile, averaging all the grades together. The first test class periods had a small growth each with 1-2% in all over growth. The third and fount period classes had a more significant growth with a 3-7% growth in those classes. But you also have to take into account the factors that could have triggered a higher score in the later classes. For one, the later classes had more time to study and possibly get answers from previous classes. Their brains could have been more prepared because of having been functioning longer than the early morning classes. All in all, there was an increases in scores, maybe because of the music, maybe not. The research is to inconclusive for a definite answer. More studies need to be conducted to further the research.
