That does sound like a plausible explanation.

It could be that all actually useful aptitude in science is captured by the math school, and that the residual impact of the science score after controlling for math is negligible, but that math is more predictive of first years grades because it captures skills useful not only in science (where it is duplicative of the science score) but also in non-science fields where it provides a benefit that science knowledge does not.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172964121659914379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14162253.post-48692798294068665872017-01-25T07:11:18.192-07:002017-01-25T07:11:18.192-07:00Fascinating.

Good science score kids are much more likely to major in science where there is much less grade inflation. L'il Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282692963428671643noreply@blogger.com
