        Isn't there a couple of words missing from the title of the paper and your quote, ie "test scores"

        All IQ scores are test scores though

        Yes, but the interesting question is if there is an increase in actual intelligence and not only in test score. We do not know this until further research has been done.

        Who would have thunk this? Alfred Binet whose test was used to provide additional support to children?

        If I read this correctly, I might've gained up to 80 IQ points from my ~16yrs of schooling. Meaning I started out around, oh, 30. Very heartening!

        Does this hold true for people returning to school later in life (50ish)? Or is the benefit limited past a certain age?

        Nice analysis. My only concern it still uses IQ, a concept waaay outdated as well as the concept of "intelligence". We need to move forward to cognitive functions.
