"Females consistently score lower than males on standardized tests of mathematics, yet no such differences exist in the classroom. These differences are not trivial, nor are they insignificant. Test scores help determine entrance to college and graduate school and, therefore, by extension, a person's job and future success.

This book presents a series of chapters that address these issues by integrating the latest research findings and theories."--BOOK JACKET.
