A secondary consideration of this study was the identification of the high school variable correlated with success in the freshman college mathematics course. The following are the high school variables considered in this study: (1) mathematics score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (2) high school graduating rank (3) high school average (4) grades in all high school mathematics courses taken (5) number of credits of high school mathematics taken (6) high school mathematics average ... |
