Odd, I always thought that academic success was tied to how quickly you can read chapter summaries before a test and/or how many days of partying and gaming you're willing to give up to study properly how studious you are. :biggrin:

AAUW's study does show female students outperforming male students in some measures. Women have earned 57 percent of bachelor's degrees since 1982 and outperformed boys on high school grade-point averages. In 2005, male students had a GPA of 2.86 and girls, 3.09.

Academic success... Isn't that linked to sh!t like doing your fukking homework, studying, and doing well on projects and tests? Hrmm... Apparently, up until this study was done, people thought that it had more to do with gender!

You're a male, you wouldn't understand.
