Pupils in East Midlands state comprehensive mixed schools aged 11 to 16 years (i.e. in normal school years 1 to 5) were tested on a class basis with:<br> i) Probability Concepts Test (about 1 hour)<br> ii) NFER AH2 Test of General Reasoning Ability (about 1 hour)<br> The mathematics teachers of the sample pupils were asked to supply details of each pupil's mathematical ability (M.A.) on a ten-point scale.
