Researchers were looking over the test scores of 7 million students across 10 states to try and figure out if there was any different in scores between genders.

The scores of male and female students were checked between grades 2 through 11.

All of the data was looked over by researchers from UC Berkeley, as well as the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

They compared the average performance of all students on tests.

The authors of the study noted that in every case, girls performed just as good as boys.

In the past, the myth was that boys had a gene which made them better at math than girls.

The research was funded by the National Science Foundation.
