Abstract
We set out to assess the relative age effect (RAE)on UK Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry andphysiology or medicine. The academic year ofthe UK begins in September; therefore, childrenin one classroom may have an entire year’s dif-ference in age (i.e. children born in Septemberand those born in August of different years).This relative age difference could cause a disad-vantage in the younger students compared tothe older students within one classroom.
