This paper measures determinants of individual academic achievements. In addition to an
extensive list of individual characteristics, skills obtained during study and socio-economic
background factors, many dimensions of selectivity into academic study subjects are shown
to drive individual academic achievement, such as differences between average student
grades during tertiary education or cognitive skills. This paper is based on a large and
representative graduate survey of graduates in the academic year 2003/2004 in the German
state of Bavaria.
