The predictive validity of the old and new men's Pharmacist scales and the new women's Pharmacist scale on the Strong Vocational Interest Blank was investigated for male and female pharmacy students. Each of the three scales significantly differentiated between graduates and nongraduates from the pharmacy program. (Author/BJG)

Findings tend to support the hypothesis that the composite score of the ACT is a valid predictor of college grades for students from a low socioeconomic background. (Author)

This study examines the validity of high school grade point average (GPA) and of the verbal and mathematical portions of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board, as predictors of college performance over an eight year period. (Author/DEP)

Examines the predictive validity of the Scholastic Aptitude Test and high school achievement when predicting college freshmen grades. Results show that females are more predictable than males and the ability to predict college grades from these two variables seems to be decreasing. (Author/DEP)

The relative predictive validity of girls' and boys' success in algebra is examined. Eighth-grade students completed the Orleans-Hanna Algebra Prognosis Test. These prognosis test scores were correlated with grades that students subsequently earned in first-year algebra. Algebra grades of girls proved to be the more predictable. (Author/DWH)

Study was designed to examine the validity of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire in predicting achievement of college sophomores majoring in Education. (Authors)

The predictive validity of eight variables (the undergraduate grade point average (GPA) and the quantitative, verbal, and total scores of the Undergraduate Record Examinations and the Graduate Record Examinations) were evaluated relative to graduate GPA for graduate students who had completed masters' degree programs in education. (Author/PN)

This study examined, within the same sample, the effects of gender and race on the relationship between predictor measures of academic performance and subsequent first-year college performance for developmental studies students. (Author/PN)

An investigation was conducted to determine whether differential predictive validity, as detected in previous studies, exists for a recent sample of 3,703 college students. Results confirmed that the phenomenon still exists. For women, but not minorities, the difference in predictive validity appears related to course selection. (SLD)

The validity of the Scholastic Aptitude Test of the National Organization for Education Evaluation of the Iranian Ministry of Sciences and Higher Education was examined in relation to the prediction of success of 406 college sophomores in Iran. (Author/JKS)

Records of students in an honors program at Marquette University revealed that the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test verbal and mathematics scores were moderately predictive for all honors students. Only the mathematics score was predictive of program success for women. (Author/JKS)

The issue addressed by this study was whether the Jesness Inventory Classification System as revised for hand-scoring can provide useful information about the personality and behavior of nonoffenders. Data on the System's construct validity showed that youths of the nine subtypes differed on many background, personality, attitude, and behavioral…

A measure of the extent to which the Kuder Occupational Interest Survey (KOIS) was predictive of occupational membership for an individual was correlated with KOIS item and scale scores. Results indicated that the KOIS was a moderator of its own predictive validity. (Author/JKS)

A sample of 176 first-grade children was tested on the Metropolitan Readiness Tests, 1976 Edition (MRT), during the initial month of school and was retested eight months later on the Stanford Achievement Test. Results demonstrated substantial validity of the MRT for predicting first-grade achievement. (Author/CTM)
