S ummary . The essay grades obtained by four‐hundred honours graduates in a university department of education were examined to investigate differences in essay‐writing performance between arts and science students. Significant differences exist between mean grades of the different groups but also between their classes of degree. An analysis of covariance to hold degree class constant was carried out and the differences between the essay grades of science and arts students became insignificant.
