Part 1: OUAC DatasetsPart 1: OUAC Datasets

a) Open the OUAC e-mail you will receive from AERO

b) Create folder ‘postsec08’ in your ‘C’ hard drive.

c) Save the files in the OUAC e-mail to the folder

‘postsec08’.

d) Open SPSS. Then open all the SPSS syntax files

in the ‘postsec08’ folder.

e) Run the file ‘read ouac file.sps’

This will read the text file

BEXT_66052_2008.txt

Which has a selection of OUAC

application and confirmation records

Note: Your file for 2008 should be the same,

except that ‘66052’ would be

replaced with your Board ID number.

f) You should now have an SPSS dataset

Advantage of this dataset: can provide

limited analysis based on school, gender,

age of student.

Disadvantage: student did not necessarily

attend the board and school in the 2007-8

school year.
