The Correlation between A Level Grades and Degree Results in England and Wales.

Sear, Kevin

Higher Education, v12 n5 p609-19 Nov 1983

The correlation between advanced level secondary school grades, used as university admission criteria in England, and university achievement is examined using data on 1979 graduates. The relationship was found to be statistically significant but weak, possibly related to the accuracy of scoring. (MSE)
