Könnunarpróf nýnema í stærðfræði við Háskóla íslands
year of last math course, number of semes-
ters in math and SENS calculus course.
To further investigate the predictive
value of the test, the authors decided to
look at the proportion of engineering
students finishing a second semester co-
urse in calculus. The result was that 73.9%
of those who finished the second calculus
course passed the status exam while 74.1%
of those who did not finish the second
calculus course did not pass the status
exam.
Keywords: Mathematics education, mathematics, status
exam, novice university students, secondary schools,
progress in study.
