I was looking at a table of A level results in the paper.
What struck me most about them was the very distinct differences there seem to be in the patterns of subjects studied & the grade distributions of boys & girls. Looks much more subtle & interesting than just Boys do more physics or Girls do better than boys
Must try & get round to doing a more detailed analysis
Meanwhile I am left pondering why CHEMISTRY & HISTORY should be the only 2 subjects with a 50:50 split between boys & girls
