| Subgroup Analysis: |
Year 4 |
||
Year 8 |
| Commentary: |
| In general, year 8 students performed much better than year 4 students on this task. There was little change between 2002 and 2006 at either year level. Boys and girls performed comparably at both year levels, as did year 8 Pakeha and Mäori students. |
