advantage. Thishypothesis was tested in two ways. First, to test whether later-testing students did better thantheir peers, the correlation between exam scores and the order in which the students took theexam (hereafter, exam order) was determined. The exam order was recorded for 9 out of the 15years in this study. A typical profile is shown in Figure 6 for 2016. In all nine years, the 95%confidence interval (CI) for the slope of score versus exam order included zero.Second, a measure was calculated to see if students performed better on the oral exam thanexpected. This measure was Δ(rank) = rank in the course – rank on the oral exam. (The rank inthe course includes the oral exam.) The Δ(rank) values are plotted versus exam order in Figure 5for
