When a gender perspective is provided for the Numeracy Test Data Model, there is almost no difference in the means at each age until Year levels 6, 7 and 8.  The Year 6 data are a blend of Year 5 and 7 thus ameleorating the effect of each Year level on the model data.  The Year 8 data are derived from the Year 7 population and thus both Year 7 and Year 8 are the same.  The model building process is described in Chapter 6.  (The gender effect at higher Year levels is an artefact of the sources of the data: the effect is derived from real data at Year 5 and 7 levels only.)
