OK someone mentioned something about grades in school. There is a large difference between intelligence and knowledge. You can get good grades in school and not be the most intelligent, also you can be the most intelligent and not get good grades. I don't know whether or not the games raise your intelligence or knowledge or both. My thoughts are this, if you are currently using your brain quite often, as when you are taking classes, you may not see much help form the game as your normal activities already activate your brain in the same way the game does. However, if you don't normally push your brain the game could help quite a bit. Also, it depends on how you use the game. There are things in the game that it can't tell how you did or even if you did it. Such as drawing the pictures. If you really concentrate on trying to draw a good picture you will get more benefit than if you don't.

I'm workin' on it right now... not too sure it's helping me - but I sure HOPE IT HELPS! LOL (however, having said that - I think it'll help on reflexes and quick thought processes more than anything.)

I totally think it kind of helps with basic facts and stuff, but I don't think it really raises your IQ. I think it's just meant to help your mental reflexes and just warm you up for certain things.P.S. Dabomb, it times you. Your score is based on time and number of correct questions.

training your brain doesn't meen u suddenly know your history lesson,it helps you keeping your brain more active then when watching (sleeping) televisionit mostly helps you to learn the basic equations so you don't grab your calculator to calculate even the very simple stuffso yes.. it works in some way

well at first i thought it did work,but someone told me that it actually doesnt, that your brain just gets used to solving maths problems and stuff like that...so it doesnt actually make you "smarter"

I played the first one and got a brain score of 54 on first go. every time i did the daily brain test after that i got between 20-23, no lie. the starting exam is much more critical towards your brain age. i honestly don't think it works. for me anyway.

Ok people let's get this one straight, brain training games aren't made to make you smarter, but to make you think more efficient, remember things better and that sort of things. Seeing from that perspective they do work (besides they have to or else theywill have complaints of angry costumers who want their money back)

Um, I don't know if the brain games have helped me at all like in real life, but it has helped me on the game. And yeah, after not playing it a while I get lower scores, but that's normal I guess.Overall, your brain should get enough activity during the day without having to play, the game just helps you. Unless you're having like a total unproductive brain-dead day where you're just laying down for 24/7, then I reccommend using the game more often.

I think that It only helps a little, I don't think you'll become the smartest person ever, but I think you'll get a little smarter.

the only thing it does here is train your brain to do well at the tasks that you are training it for.
