§ These cells do not display data because this is a correlation matrix. Information is shown for the lower triangle only to eliminate redundant information.
NOTE: In 2013, measurement and geometry were combined at grade 12. The tabled values were obtained by computing a separate correlation coefficient for each plausible value, computing Fisher’s z-transformation for each correlation coefficient, computing the average of the transformed values, and computing the inverse transformation to produce the marginal correlations.
