In the online publication Gender Bias in College Admissions Tests by FairTest, reviews of three separate college admissions tests are used to show a clear gender bias in each of the tests, with males consistently outscoring females. The writing then goes on to explain how there is no single reason for the gender bias in testing, but more a culmination of several different factors. It continues to dissect the tests and explain how each part contributes to the gender bias they already showed through data, including test questions, format, guessing, and “speededness”. the article then includes material from test makers who try to explain that the gap can be caused by the amount of females that take the tests, although as FairTest points out, the differences would be the same if looking at it from a percentage vantage if this was the case.

In the publication Attributional Gender Bias: Teachers' Ability and Effort Explanations for Students' Math Performance, published in the Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, the authors focus on the different attributions associated with achievements based on gender. They state that the attributions for females tend to be focused on effort, versus ability for males. The publication also goes on to study the teachers attitudes towards different genders and how they try to compensate for the discrepancies.

In the Publication Classroom Interactions: Gender of Teacher, Gender of Student, and Classroom Subject, published by Sex Roles, the authors focus on the genders of the teachers and students, along with the classroom subject, and how differing genders alters the interactions between the teachers and students. They also focus on how even though males were not more likely to create an interaction, teachers of all genders were more likely to interact with males.
