  1. *Pooled from follow-up intervals of all weeks (2–20 weeks).
  2. The mean test scores and standard deviations of the pre-test, post-test and retention-test are reported for junior and senior students. The mean delta scores between pre-test and post-test, post-test and retention-test and pre-test and retention-test, respectively, are presented with associated p-values.
