<p>Males do perform better on standardized tests such as the SAT, but girls get better grades. They have better fine moter skills which means their handwriting is better and they are better at making all these posters that are now required in high school. They are also better at sitting still and being compliant. They will do busy work becasue the teacher told them to and they want a better grade. Boys resist doing assignments that they don't find meaningful. They would rather read the material and take tests.</p>
