dc.description.abstractThis paper uses extensive student-level micro databases of three international studentachievement tests to estimate heterogeneity in the effect of external exit exams on studentperformance along three dimensions. First, quantile regressions show that the effect tends toincrease with student ability. But it does not differ substantially for most measured familybackgroundcharacteristics. Second, central exams have complementary effects to schoolautonomy. Third, the effect of central exit exams increases during the course of secondaryeducation, and regular standardised examination exerts additional positive effects. Thus, thereis substantial heterogeneity in the central exam effect along student, school and timedimensions.en
