Music Held
Aid to Study
(CPS) — If you want to do well on a
test, maybe you should take it while
listening to music.
Dr. B. Everard Blanchard of
Chicago's DePaul University says that
students who listen to music wl^e fill
ing out their test books generally are
less anxious and get higher grades than
those who don’t have music in their
classrooms.
According to Zodiac News Service,
Blanchard divided 254 DePaul students
with similar academic skills into three
groups. He gave them all an exam, but
had one group labor in silence while
another group listened to classical
music, and a third heard rock music.
The two groups listening to music, it
turned out, had lower blood pressure
and pulse rates during the test than the
students who didn’t hear music. They
also ended up with higher grades on the
test.
