Abstract: We use administrative data ($N = 61,553$N=61,553) on Finnish individuals who started university studies between 1991 and 2015 to explore whether mathematics and Finnish scores in upper secondary school matriculation examinations are related to university performance. We find that mathematical and verbal skills are complementary in predicting university course completions and grades.
