Notes: 1. Each cell, except percentage change, represents the ratio of female to male achievement, in percent.
2. The 1983-07 column is the simple percentage change of the 2007 value for each category over its
1983 value; because of changes in population composition, it will not be the same as a simple
weighted average of the change in the individual components
