Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children who have been in school longer have had more exposure to academic material, which can contribute to higher performance on intelligence tests compared to their peers who have had less time in school. Waiting longer to attend school (A) and attending fewer schools (D) are not necessarily indicative of higher or lower intelligence, while being held back a grade (B) may be indicative of lower performance or difficulties in school.
