I have the following dataset:
Student_ID     Subject Code     Test1 Year 1     Test1 Year 2     Test
1 Year 3     Test 2 Year1      Test 2 Year 2     Test 2 Year 3
    1                   1                        50
 45                    42
    1                   2                        65
 50                    42
    2                  1                         50
   49
                       42
    2                   2                        65
   50
                       42
I wanted to generate a variables for each year that combines the test
types. I am not sure if I could use the egen max function.
Any suggestions??
