“…[7] Upper secondary grades in mathematics turned out to be a strong predictor of university achievement (alone predicting 17% of student university grades). This supports previous results [7,[10][11][12]. More precisely, there is a strong tendency that upper secondary grades set an upper limit, but not a lower limit, for student achievements at the university (Figure 1).…”

“…More precisely, there is a strong tendency that upper secondary grades set an upper limit, but not a lower limit, for student achievements at the university (Figure 1). In fact there is no single example in our study of a student with poor upper secondary grades in mathematics and top average grades in first year university math courses, so our study does not unequivocally confirm the result of James, Montell and Williams, [11] even though we also find a rather large group of students with top upper secondary grades with medium or low university grades.

“…The shifting profile of students who take service mathematics courses has produced a consequent decline in mathematical standards (Gill et al 2010;Jennings 2009). However, not all studies agree on the extent of the problem (Engelbrecht and Harding 2008;Engelbrecht et al 2005) and James et al (2008) found that standards had been maintained. The recent President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) (2012) states that in the USA alone there is a need to produce, over the next decade, around 1 million more college graduates in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields than currently expected and recommends funding around 200 experiments at an average level of $500,000 each to address mathematics preparation issues.…”

“…However, recent studies have shown that the predictive validity of the National Certificate of Educational Achievement on subsequent performance in higher education is high in mathematics (James, Montelle, and Williams 2008) and overall (Shulruf, Hattie, and Tumen 2008). However, as Shulruf, Hattie, and Tumen (2008) noted the recent research had shown that students have emphasised the accumulation of credits (Mayer et al 2006).…”
