The data used in this paper are the property of the Quebec Ministry of
Education, Recreation and Sports (MERS; Canada), which does not permit
us to share these data and requires that we destroy all data after
August 2013. Permission to obtain these data from the MERS may be
obtained after submission of a form to the Commission d'accès à
l'information du Québec. The form is called the "Application for
authorization to obtain nominative information for research, study or
statistical purposes" and is available at http://www.cai.gouv.qc.ca/.

The data are selected from the June 2005 Standardized Ministry
Examinations (Épreuves Uniques du Ministère pour Juin 2005). We
obtained from the MERS a sample from the population of all pupils
registered in Secondary level 4 and Secondary level 5 in 75% of all
schools that offered standardized examinations in the academic year
2004-2005.
