Abstract

Age is one of the criteria being used by the University of Sokoto for admission into its pre-degree programmes. This research was conducted to find out the influence of age on the academic performance of the pre-degree students. Students’ age and aggregate of their scores on pre-degree examinations were used. Students, 17-19 years were considered ‘younger’ while 20 years and above were considered ‘older’. A total of 360 pre-degree out of 509 students were used. Analysis of variance carried out revealed that younger students performed significantly better than older students in three of the four cases.
