A semantic differential instrument was devised to predict success of counselor-trainees in a practicum course. The instrument was not useful in predicting success. (Author/JKS)

This study involved the determination of the relationship between each of 15 predictor variables (primarily reflecting cognitive abilities and study skills) and each of 13 criterion measures representing course grades and scores on the National League for Nursing Achievement Tests. (Author/RC)

Discriminant function analysis was used to predict which college students were graduated in four years, were still enrolled after four years, left the college in good academic standing, or left after being on probation. Results were moderately successful. (Author/JKS)

Investigated the prediction of success in the six-year combined undergraduate and medical education program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Implications for selection policy are considered. (Author)

Investigated extent to which traditional indices (test scores, undergraduate GPA, letters of recommendation) and less traditional measures (interview ratings and biographical information) would predict each of two criteria of success in a subdoctoral program in applied psychology: a) academic competency (graduate GPA) and b) faculty ratings of…

Using grade point average and graduation-nongraduation as two separate criteria and eight predictor variables selected from doctoral applicants' folders at an Arizona university, a canonical correlation of .624 for a sample of 65 graduate students shrank to -.095 for a cross validation sample of 21 students.

The effectiveness of an abridged group assessment procedure in predicting initial teaching success, where success was measured largely through practice teaching evaluations, was tested with a sample of 247 female graduates of a teacher training college in Israel. Results justify use of the assessment in the college admission process. (SLD)

Selection criteria at a graduate school of business were examined in a study evaluating the predictive validity of the Graduate Management Admissions Test and the Miller Analogies Test for 203 recent graduates. Implications of the correlations between test results and grade point average for admission policy are discussed. (SLD)
