AI Tutors Match Expert GRE Learning Gains

First detected

StudentBench reports statistically significant equivalent immediate GRE learning gains between AI and expert human tutoring across 2,383 students, while estimating a 918-fold hourly cost difference. This is a concrete outcome-and-cost result rather than a capability demo, but it is still one study and measures immediate gains. Replication, delayed retention and results across other subjects would confirm or disprove the market implication.
