Can you raise your expected points earned at state leaving exam by the selection of the school?
Brabec, Jan ; Kovanda, Lukáš (advisor) ; Čermáková, Klára (referee)
In my bachelor's thesis I examine the various characteristics of grammar schools' influence on students' success regarding the state leaving exam. Specifically, if the applicant can raise his or her expected points earned simply by the mere selection of the school. I work with data from the 2011 and 2012 graduation years and I concentrate on the average scores in Czech language and literature, English and math. Econometric analysis shows that some variables do have an effect on students' results. Playing the most significant roles are class size (positive effect), instructor qualification (positive effect) and religious affiliation (negative effect).
