This week in research #147

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (a very quiet week, it seems):

• Silva, Sá, and Biscaia (open access) find that a one-standard-deviation increase in high school GPA adds 5.9 first-year ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) at university, versus 1.8 ECTS for a one-standard-deviation increase in standardised national exam score, with the difference larger in the most selective university programs
