S ummary . This study examines the relationship between cognitive test scores, psychological symptoms and academic outcome for undergraduate chemistry students at University College, London, between the years 1956–61. There was some association between a high level of academic success, stress, and a high score of Valentine's reasoning test. Low cognitive test scores and psychological disturbance, however, did not relate to wastage and failure in this group of students.
