2001 Study - Master The Code (MTC)

Results of tests from the Woodcock Reading Mastery Test, Gibson Cognitive Test Battery, Lindamood Auditory Conceptualization Test, and Detroit Tests Of Learning Aptitude.

Please Note:  Master the Code was in development during 2001. Approximately 380 students have completed or are now going through the program. In most cases the results below reflect only 19 hours of instructor guided MTC training what was given in conjunction with PACE. We expect even better results as we collect data on those students who have fully completed Master The Code.
