Using Wayaing Outpost in the Classroom

Currently, most high schools have special classes for test preparation (such as. SAT-prep or MCAS-prep classes) or remedial math classes for those students who have not passed test required for graduation. Wayang Outpost is an excellent tutoring tool for these kinds of classes. It's proven to increases students' scores. Our research studies show that students improved 10% of their score after 2 hours of instruction and 20% after 3 hours using our tutoring system, on problems similar to those tested in SAT, MCAS and CA-Star. For many students, this is the difference between passing and not passing the test. Further practice results in even more confidence and success.
