Table 4 reports WWC calculations for the Daugherty et al. (2016) matched sample of 9,621 first-time students: one-year persistence mean difference of 3.10 percentage points, effect size 0.08, p < .01; credits earned after 2 semesters mean difference 0.40, effect size 0.04, p .07; the domain average of 0.06 was statistically significant.

"The p-values for college-level credits earned after 2 semesters and the percentage of attempted college credits that were completed were calculated by the WWC."
