The High School and Beyond Cognitive Test: Evidence of Criterion-Related Validity.

Yonker, Robert J.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v47 n3 p719-24 Fall 1987

Criterion-related validity of the 126-item cognitive test used in the High School and Beyond study was examined. Sophomore and senior year cognitive test results correlated highly with senior year college entrance examinations for all subtests except civics, and moderately well with senior year grades and class rank.
