Some Contributions to Sex Differences in Scholastic Aptitude Scores.

Adams, Raymond J.

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v12 n3 p267-74 1986

Sex differences in performance on the Australian Scholastic Aptitude Test (ASAT) were investigated. No significant direct effect of sex on performance was found. Sex differences were found to be the result of females having a higher verbal ability, males studying more mathematics, and males having greater confidence in ASAT success. (LMO)
