Current evidence is an observational association between a new study app and exam scores. Identify the strongest feasible causal study design and state the assignment, comparison, and scope conditions that make it stronger.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
To strengthen a causal claim, improve treatment assignment rather than merely enlarging an observational sample. Random assignment to treatment and control, a common prespecified outcome, and checks for adherence and attrition protect comparability; even then, the inference should stay bounded to the population, implementation, and conditions actually represented.
