Abstract

Do girls and boys respond differently to exam pressure, perhaps depending on the subject and whether or not the tests are 'high stakes'? Ghazala Azmat and colleagues consider evidence for secondary school age children in Spain - and its implications for the choices that young men and women make about degree subjects and careers.
