This paper discusses the results obtained by students with A-level mathematics in Coventry University's diagnostic test in October 1997. These results are compared with those of students who entered the university in 1991. The comparison shows that there is little difference in performance between those with A-level grade C in the 1997 entry and those with A-level grade N in the 1991 entry. A more detailed analysis of specific questions indicates in which areas those students with grade A clearly outperform students with other grades.
