- The paper presents a comparison of exam results in mathematics and statistics at the Faculty of Economics
and Management of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. Feedback is an important part of the educational process, and its quality can be assessed
through the analysis of exam results. The main goal of this paper is to compare the exam pass rates of FEM students studying in all
study programs at the bachelor's degree in the subjects of Mathematics IA, Mathematics IB, Statistics IA and Statistics IB in the
academic years 2017/18 to 2020/21. We used ANOVA to verify the existence of differences in students' final evaluations. In those cases
where we identified a difference in evaluations of subjects in the compared periods, we carried out an analysis by means of the Scheffé's
test for Multiple Comparisons. In the monitored years 2017-2021 we confirmed only minimal differences in the grades awarded to
students in the subjects Mathematics IA, IB and Statistics IA, IB.
