[Audio] An investigative analysis of how students perform in exams, conducted by Dwayne Taylor..

[Audio] Here some of the explorative questions for the data being analyzed: How effective is the test preparation course? What major factors contribute to test outcomes? What is the best way to improve student scores on tests? Are there gender differences in academic performance? How much does preparation impact a student's exam scores?.

[Audio] This is a sample of a fictional dataset that was obtained from Kaggle.com solely for the purpose to practice..

[Audio] The study was conducted with a sample of 1000 high school students residing in the United States..

[Audio] The exams consisted of three mandatory subjects, mathematics, reading and writing..

[Audio] For analysis purposes, the students were categorized into 5 groups according to their grades..

[Audio] An analysis of gender is being conducted to examine correlations with different subjects. An analysis of controlling factors is being conducted, with revision participation and school lunch being examined as potential factors. An analysis of percentiles is being conducted to study the distribution of student grades..

[Audio] The observation showed that male students scored higher in mathematics, but female students scored higher in both reading and writing, resulting in higher overall scores compared to males.

[Audio] High volume of male students scored around the passing grades for reading and writing High.

[Audio] A higher percentage of female students passed their exams compared to male students, and on average, they scored higher as well. Female students outperformed male students in reading and writing subjects, while male students excelled more in mathematics. Two-thirds of the exam content is comprised of reading and writing subjects, where females tend to perform better than males. There is a strong correlation (r squared = 0.9) between the scores of reading and writing subjects, indicating that being good at one subject often translates to being good at the other..

[Audio] Food for thought…receiving free lunch and taking revision courses yielded higher grades on average. Lets look deeper..

[Audio] The data shows that students who participated in revision courses and received free lunches had a higher pass rate compared to students who did not participate, who had a higher rate of failure..

[Audio] On average, students who took part in revision exercises performed better on their exams, achieving a score of 73%, compared to students who did not participate, who achieved an average score of 65%. In addition, students who were eligible for free lunch performed better on their exams, achieving an average score of 71%, compared to students who were not eligible, who achieved an average score of 62%..

[Audio] From the dataset analyzed it can be concluded that: Among the 1,000 high school students, 72% obtained passing grades, with 5% achieving grade A, while the remaining 28% failed their exams. Male students showed stronger performance in mathematics, whereas female students performed better in both reading and writing. The commitment to taking a revision course and the type of school lunch provided are some of the potential reasons that could affect student grades..

[Audio] Base on the analysis here a few recommendations: To encourage better performance in reading and writing subjects, the school could offer more resources and support for male students. Provide more free or affordable lunch to students. Since revision courses have been identified as a factor that could potentially improve student grades, schools could provide more opportunities for students to participate in such courses. To address the gender disparities in subject performance, the schools could consider implementing teaching methods and resources that cater to the different learning styles and abilities of male and female students. Teachers could consider incorporating cross-subject learning strategies, such as combining reading and writing elements in math problems, to help students perform better in subjects they struggle with..

[Audio] Thank you. Provide more free or affordable lunch to students. Since revision courses have been identified as a factor that could potentially improve student grades, schools could provide more opportunities for students to participate in such courses. To address the gender disparities in subject performance, the schools could consider implementing teaching methods and resources that cater to the different learning styles and abilities of male and female students.
