Did you know that some people believe that if you listen to Mozart, you
do better on tests? Well, some recent studies show that this is true! A group of
high-schoolers volunteered to have the experiment tested on them. What happened? When the high-schoolers listened to pop music or another classical composer,
the music didnt affect them on a test, but when they listened to Mozart, they got
higher test scores. Then the testers had a different group sit in 10 minutes silence they
also thought that sitting in silence helped your brain. The group that listened to Mozart
also sat and listened to Mozart for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes were up, both groups
took the same test. The Mozart group scored higher. The tests suggest that, if you want to
do better on tests, buy a few CDs or cassettes that have Mozart music, and listen to
them every day. Happy listening and do better on tests!
