In a randomised study of 2,383 students, one hour of AI tutoring produced GRE gains statistically equivalent to an expert human tutor: about 14 points, against about 15 with a person and about 8 with no tutor.

In 5 of 7 topics, the top AI tutor beat the human average. The cheapest AI tutor to match human results cost 918 times less per point gained.
