From a stratified sampling, a random sample composed of 160 students enrolled in two first-year groups of the Degree in Business Administration and Management (ADE) at the University of Malaga has been obtained. Several quantitative analysis techniques are applied: descriptive and inferential analysis based on the estimation of non linear and linear regression models. Results: The results obtained suggest that students who delay the time to answer these tests obtain worse grades in these tests and in future exa...
