Chicago Firms Team to Drive Performance on Standardized Tests

Learning Enhancement Corporation (LEC) and Academic Approach announced that they have entered into a partnership to promote each other’s products and services. The partnership recognizes the strategic fit between the companies’ offerings.

LEC develops and markets neuroscience-based software programs that build learning capacity. Its flagship program, BrainWare Safari, enhances 41 cognitive skills critical for learning. BrainWare Safari has been shown to create dramatic improvement in learning ability in a comprehensive manner that spans perceptual processing, memory, attention, sensorimotor integration and thinking skills.

Academic Approach offers online test-preparation courses for the SAT, ACT, ISEE and SSAT that teach beyond the test™ by not only raising test scores but also preparing students to master college readiness skills. The company’s unique methods produce industry-leading results.

“We have been very impressed by the cognitive science behind LEC’s cutting-edge approach to developing critical thinking skills,” said Matthew Pietrafetta, CEO of Academic Approach. “By training processing speed and sequencing skills—the underlying cognitive aptitudes—students will ultimately achieve even greater results. Most test preparation merely games the test; this solution develops the mind.” The relationship forms the foundation for what is expected to become a broader partnership to provide a “cradle-to-college” system for enhancing academic success to meet the expectations of the 21st century.

“Academic Approach builds on the enhanced capabilities LEC develops in all students to help them truly master the skills and knowledge that define college readiness and develop the thinking skills needed for success in a globally competitive market. We think we have a winning combination and we look forward to building on this promising partnership,” said Roger Stark, CEO of Learning Enhancement Corporation.
