Only in mathematics decreasing GA was associated with lower grades. Increased mathematical difficulties were found below GA 33-35 weeks. The academic profile of mathematical difficulties was more prevalent among GA <32 weeks. However, the absolute differences in grades were small, and the predominant academic profile was average/high grades within both domains across all GA.
