The Influence on Mathematics Test Scores, by Ethnicity and Sex, of Prior Achievement and High School Mathematics Courses.

Jones, Lyle V.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v18 n3 p180-86 May 1987

Senior-year mathematics test scores are highly dependent on the number of mathematics courses taken at the level of Algebra I or above. Sophomore students with similar levels of mathematics achievement may be expected to improve similarly regardless of race or sex by taking additional mathematics courses. (MNS)
