It would be interesting to see how this correlates with women working in Science and Engineering careers and how it varies by country, continent and culture. Doing well in a mandatory test is one thing, but does good performance in a test then translate into a deeper interest (or perhaps, confidence) in science? From my own experience in the UK, I went to school with many clever girls but I think only a handful actually went into STEM careers and even then the most notable example went into pharmaceuticals science which seems a more female friendly industry than say, physics or mechanical engineering (incidentally, the same girl was the only female in my physics class, with 15 boys... perhaps this put her off even more!). Most girls went on to study medicine, law or business.
