Out of 60 points

Students consenting to the use of exam scores in analysis per play style group: Engaged throughout (12 of 13, 92%); Answered in bursts (39 of 44, 89%) and Just slightly engaged (29 of 37, 78%)

PER (Player Efficiency Rating) Tertile: PER is a metric that combined the accuracy, consistency of play and timeliness of answers. Higher PER was desirable, and here we group students per PER tertile.

Students consenting to the use of exam scores in analysis per PER tertile: Highest (27 of 30, 90%), Middle (29 0f 32, 91%) and Lowest (24 of 32, 75%)
