S ummary . Secondary school A‐level science examination grades of university students of chemical engineering were compared with first‐year and final university examination marks. Three groups were studied: 556 successful U.K. students, fifty‐six successful overseas students and sixty‐seven unsuccessful students. In the first group, the A‐level Physics mark showed the highest correlation with first‐year and final performance, and Mathematics the lowest. For overseas students, the position of these two subjects in the correlations was reversed.
