Grades and exams are an important part of schooling systems that have marked effects on students. They ration scarce educational resources, provide a range of information to schools, and may promote learning. At the same time, they provide information to students about their academic progress and ability, and potentially, their suitability for future study. In practice, there is a large variety in how grades are assigned where a key variation is whether this is teacher assessment or exam-based. This paper uses a setting, Norway, where both are used, but exam grading is randomly assigned to students at the end of middle school. Using register data, we demonstrate systematic differences in grade assignment by teachers across different student groups. Most notably, teachers are in general generous relative to exams, and we document large systematic across school variation. In some schools, assignment to a math exam results in an average one grade reduction (i.e. B to C).

A growing body of research has shown large SES gaps in the match between students and their courses, with students from disadvantaged backgrounds more likely to ‘undermatch’ by attending less selective university courses than their entry grades would permit. In this paper we examine the role of university application behaviour in explaining these gaps. We find that individuals from different schools have very different application profiles, with those from independent schools much more likely to make "reach" applications. In general, these reach applications are successful, and thus largely explain the why those from independent schools appear to be more likely to enrol in more selective courses, even when their entry grades are similar to those from the state sector.

The post-secondary education choice influences long-term life and labor market outcomes, and poses a complex decision problem under uncertainty for high school students. This study examines the causal effects of a large-scale school policy in Germany that expands the free access to assistance from professional career counselors. By randomly varying the start of the policy for a subset of schools, we find that the students in treatment schools are more likely to attend a career presentation and personal one-on-one meetings. The policy translates to unanticipated effects on the actual education decisions. Students in treatment schools move away from college education, particularly from universities and are less likely to choose natural science and engineering degrees. However, they report greater satisfaction with their choice and a lower likelihood to drop out.
