  7. Abstract:
  8. After school tutoring education is a concept that varies widely between countries. Evidence suggests that one of the factors explaining this difference is the existence of competitive tests. There is also evidence for Iran that, because of the existence of competitive test of the national entrance exam, a large percentage of Iranian families use after school tutoring to their children get a successful result in this exam. But the question is how much after school tutoring is effective? The answer to this question is important because if after school tutoring is effective, low-income families are expected to be unable to provide such training, and the national entrance exam will prevent children of these families entering the university. To answer this question, 130,000 volunteers of national entrance exam in 2010 exam were invited to attend an online survey. In the questionnaire of this survey, personal and family background information, educational information and the occupational information has been asked. The results of this study, which based on the complementary information of questionary 6178, indicate that the after school tutoring has the significant correlation with the performance of volunteers of national entrance exam. So that more use of these training is equal with lower rank and higher level
