I disagreed with the passing on the right question, but overall it’s a very good review of instances we face all the time.
The press release for the survey included findings of:

The Northeast had the lowest average test scores (74.9 percent) and had the highest failure rate (25.1 percent). The Midwest region had the highest average test scores (77.5 percent) and the lowest failure rates (11.9 percent).

– Males over 45 earned the highest average test score.
– Males also out-performed females overall in terms of average score (78.1 percent male versus 74.4 percent female) and failure rates (24 percent female versus 18.1 percent male).
