A study was conducted at Miami-Dade Community College (MDCC) to provide data on the relationship of cumulative grade point average (GPA) and College-Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) performance. Because Florida community college students must be eligible for graduation in order to take the CLAST, the study focused mainly on MDCC students with GPA's of 2.0 or higher. Study results included the following: (1) students with cumulative GPA's of 3.0 or better had passing rates of 90% or higher on each area of the CLAST except the essay; (2) as cumulative GPA decreased, so did passing rates and the proportion of students passing all four parts of the CLAST; (3) for students with GPA's of 3.5 or better, the only section of the CLAST that kept 10% from an Associate in Arts degree was the essay; (4) students with GPA's lower than 3.0 had less than a 70% chance of passing all four test sections; and (5) for students taking the CLAST in fall 1984, correlations between GPA and CLAST scores ranged from a collegewide high of .48 for GPA and computation to a low of .34 for GPA and the essay. Based on study findings, it was concluded that cumulative GPA can predict CLAST performance although attainment of a GPA of 2.0 or better was not a sufficient indicator of basic skills competence as measured by CLAST.
