Paired samples t test (Table 5) on 200 public school students tested at Access entry and after one year: M = 17.28 vs M = 26.11, t199 = 22.051. The article states that without suitable milieus and methods "the notable difference cannot be created"; no effect size is printed.

"The result also shows that the result of post -test was only 8points higher than the scores of pre-test (95% CI [8.04, 9.62])."
