Every one is different, and some test well, while others may not test as well. While they may differentiate as to a grade and tell whether or not you move on to the next grade, everyone learns at their own pace and processes things differently.

In childhood, neurons and neural pathways that get used are strengthened in the brain, whereas those that are not used die out.  The brain is like a muscle.  It requires frequent repetitive use and stimulation ...
