Depends on what you mean by "combine".
Perhaps in your field that has some precise meaning, but not in mine!
But -egen, max()- would be useless here as it seems you want to combine across observations, in which case it would be a matter of one of the -row*()- functions of -egen-.

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.
