Table of Data: Jazz Scores- 80,70,70,90,80,80,70,70,80,80,90 Classical Scores-70,70,80,90,90,80,70,90,80,80 Hip-Hop scores-60,50,70,60,40,70,70,70,50,60,70

Graphs: Application & Recommendation : This test method could really help educators and their students when doing a test. It would mostly help the students because it will be them getting a grade for the test. the only problem with this method is that the teachers have to make sure that the students are not cheating with the music. To reduce the cheating problem though the educator could play the music or loud in the classroom.this method could bring a lot of money to the school of the teachers career as well the students grade average.I really recommend this to them because this is where it will be most effective.

Conclusion & Results: For my hypothesis i stated that jazz and classical music is the most effective. My hypothesis was right after all the test results were calculated it came down to jazz being the most effective.I think it is because jazz is upbeat but also slow ,so it makes it easier to get relaxed to and not go to sleep.I feel that this studied will help educator in the future or even now.
