Session number: 3
Average n-back: 2
Duration (estimate in minutes): 30
Today was the first time I only had 4 misses…on just one block. I’m still mostly getting about 7-10 misses. Have to say I’m feeling a little discouraged..I’m 60, so maybe it just takes more time.

4.45 is my baseline when starting at n=2. Next, let’s see what I can do when starting at n=5 / n=6, then work my way up from there.

n=2 was 0 or 1 wrong (wrong always auditory). n=3 is still all over. when visual is better, auditory trashes the average 
but visual is not consistent yet. with n=2 I can think about sound and the visual takes care of itself. n=3 I have to think about visual too and then I lose track of auditory and … predictable. last 5 sessions have been 2.5 n-back with one (#4) 2.4.

Hi i just have a quick question i’m hoping you can answer. When i’m doing the dual n-back training i find that there are several different methods i can use in order to do well and two of them are pretty much instinctive. But, i wonder whether what i’m doing is cheating me out of actually training my working memory as much as i could be training it if i used a different method. The most instinctive method for me is that when i hear the sounds, i repeat them to myself in the same order i heard them using my mental voice, not my mouth. I do best when i use this method, but since i sometimes actually forget the sounds unless i repeat them, it seems to me that this is more of a specific strategy my mind designed in order to do well specifically in this exercise and that the gains will not transfer to everyday activities. The second method is that i visualize the black square and the sounds exactly like i see them in the computer, i’m a visual learner and i find this method to be easiest for me, but again, i wonder if my gains will transfer in this way. The third way is that i kind of keep my mind blank and try to remember the sounds and locations just based on what i can remember, but i find it to be much harder. Which method do you think would give the best results in terms of transferring to my actual intelligence rather than just a higher score in the training? and does the method actually matter? Thanks ahead of time

Anson from Colorado contacted us to tell us of his experience with the MCATs and training with Brain Fitness Pro. He mentions a jump in score from 27 to 34. This is equivalent to a percentile increase for the MCATs from around the 60th percentile to around the 92nd percentile:
“I just wanted to let you know that for the past year I had been studying to retake my MCAT’s in January. My dad had mentioned your product and so I decided I would give it a shot. I used it for 6 months, while I studied the exam material. I got my results back in March and my score jumped from a 27 to a 34. I was pretty astounded by the results since the average score either increases or decreases at most by 3 points when the score is close to a 30. I have no idea what happened, but I definitely have to attribute some of the success to your program. I would have emailed you earlier, but I have been busy as of late. I just wanted to let you know that I felt like your program works and that hopefully it can help others succeed.”
Session number: 7
Average n-back: 3.8
Duration (estimate in minutes): 40
Training session six wasn’t what I was expecting. My n-back average actually decreased to 3.0. I started to assume that my working memory index peaked too soon. However, after session seven, it was apparent that it was not the case. Perhaps my performance fell victim to the Fibonacci retracement principle. Nonetheless, on session seven, I passed n=4 twice. This brought my n-back average to 3.8. This program is amazing. I can’t believe how rapidly I’m seeing results. In a week, I went from 2.5 to 3.8. That’s a 52% increase from session one. I can’t wait to see what the next twelve sessions reveal.

I didn’t expect substantial results today due to my mind being fatigued from a hectic workday. In fact, I was considering skipping today’s Brain Fitness Pro training session. But, something inside me wants to know if this product really works. In order to give the product an honest assessment, I decided that I would stick with the training for 20 consecutive days as instructed.
I just completed my fourth session and I am surprised at my results. Today, my n-back average increased by .4 points. This brings my n-back average to 3.2. I’m consistently passing n=3 with ease. But, n=4 is still feels overwhelming at this time.
Throughout my day, I feel like tasks are easier to accomplish. My job requires a great deal of multitasking and I found it easier to juggle responsibilities. I can’t confirm that it’s the training from the program just yet. I’m not sure if it’s subjective validation for having an “on” day. But, I intend to continue using this program and provide honest feedback.

When I completed n=3, I was amazed! I’ve made great progress with this program in three sessions. Now that I’m at n=4, I feel completely overwhelmed. I’m confident that I’ll be able to master n=4 very shortly though. I can already feel a significant increase in logic processing ability, particularly with numbers.

Yes, got about 4 at last! For me this is slow work.
I’m wondering whether anyone has any experience of ‘Onetest’? It’s an Australian developed screening test based loosely on the Wonderlic concept of a quick assessment of cognitive aptitude. The only problem is that 1/5 of the questions have more than one valid answer – and the more creative you are, the more possible answers you can see. My husband, (double first class honours Maths & Physics, PhD Physics, leading building scientist) couldn’t immediately answer this particular line of questions.
