ABSTRACT The growth in the number of secondary school applicants to Ontario's publicly funded universities, combined with reduced government funding levels, has created a more competitive environment for students and generated grade-enhancing practices among them. Repeating successfully completed senior-level courses was investigated, using a sample of 16,200 graduates of a large school board over a 4year period. A profile of the average repeated was constructed, and the resource cost and the subject distribution of repetitions were analyzed. The impact on marks of repeating courses was noted. Repeaters had below-average marks in their first attempt and had caught up with the average student after repeating. Recommendations are proposed in the Conclusion of this article.
