      Yeah that whole abstract could have just said: Students who learned math in high school are more confident when they take the same math classes later in college.

      I tested out of the basic math programs that our liberal arts college required for first year students on the first day. We were allowed to use our Ti-82s and any formulas stored on them. This was nearly 30 years ago however.
