Performed a follow-up of a sample of children (N=24) to determine whether the McCarthy Scales administered during kindergarten is predictive of subsequent achievement test performance and predictive of course grades during the sixth grade. Results indicated that the McCarthy Scales have predictive value over a six-year period. (LLL)

Peer reviewedReynolds, Cecil R. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1978
Primary school children were administered the Draw-A-Design and Draw-A Child subtests of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities in a group setting. Results suggest that the McCarthy drawing tests may be administered validly in a group format, and that these scores are significantly related to school achievement. (Author/BW)

Peer reviewedSimons, Marc R.; Goh, David S. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Correlations between McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities and teachers' ratings of academic achievement were investigated. McCarthy Scales are useful in predicting achievement of normal children, but further research is needed with learning disabled students. Use of teachers' rating scales with low functioning children is discussed in light of…
