PrepTest 57, Section 3, Question 1
Educators studied the performance of 200 students in a university's history classes. They found that those students who performed the best had either part-time jobs or full-time jobs, had their history classes early in the morning, and had a very limited social life, whereas those students who performed the worst had no jobs, had their history classes early in the morning, and had a very active social life.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the educators' findings?
The students compensated for any study time lost due to their jobs but they did not compensate for any study time lost due to their social lives.
The students who had full-time jobs typically worked late-night hours at those jobs.
Better students tend to choose classes that are scheduled to meet early in the morning.
A larger percentage of those students interested in majoring in history had part-time jobs than had full-time jobs.
Although having a job tends to provide a release from stress, thus increasing academic performance, having a full-time job, like having an active social life, can distract a student from studying.
