Ortiz, Samuel O.; Johnston, Harriet N.; Wilcox, Gabrielle; Francis, Stella L.; Tomes, Yuma I. – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2014
There is significant debate over the value and ethics of IQ testing for children, including those from diverse cultural groups, particularly in light of studies examining performance on various subtests that are uncovering important processing differences between cultural and linguistic groups (Sotelo-Dynega, Ortiz, Flanagan, & Chaplin, 2013).…

Kobrin, Jennifer L.; Patterson, Brian F. – College Board, 2012
This study examines student performance on the SAT and SAT Subject Tests in order to identify groups of students who score differently on these two tests, and to determine whether certain demographic groups score higher on one test compared to the other. Discrepancy scores were created to capture individuals' performance differences on the…

Sweat, Jeffrey; Jones, Glenda; Han, Suejung; Wolfgram, Susan M. – International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2013
This High Impact Practices (HIPS) contribute to higher retention and graduation rates. HIPS are effective for racial and ethnic minorities in particular, who disproportionately experience high and persistent levels of postsecondary attrition. Little is known about the mechanism by which HIPS promote retention. Based on a random survey of 268…

Identifying Students at Risk for Leaving an Institution: SAT and HSGPA as Tools to Improve Retention
Shaw, Emily J.; Mattern, Krista D. – College Board, 2012
The current study will explore the validity and potential of using the SAT, in conjunction with HSGPA, to arrive at a predicted FYGPA to improve student retention at four-year postsecondary institutions. Specifically, this study examined whether college students who did not perform as expected (observed FYGPA minus predicted FYGPA) were more…

This article analyzes the information these tests provide about teacher effectiveness. The authors find that licensure tests have different predicative validity for student achievement by teacher race. They also find that…

PORTER, ANDREW; STANLEY, JULIAN C. – 1967
WHILE ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CONSTRUCT MEASURES WHICH HAVE VALIDITY FOR PREDICTING ACADEMIC SUCCESS IN COLLEGE, MOST OF THESE TESTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR NATIONWIDE TESTING PROGRAMS AND MAY NOT BE AS COMPLETELY VALID FOR MEASURING THE APTITUDE OF MINORITY GROUP HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO HAVE RESTRICTED ENVIRONMENTAL BACKGROUNDS. TO TEST THE…

Koenig, Judith A.; Sireci, Stephen G.; Wiley, Andrew – Academic Medicine, 1998
A study of 12,388 entering medical students investigated the predictive validity of the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) by comparing prediction errors for grade point average across racial/ethnic and gender groups. Results show no prediction errors for gender, overprediction of performance for racial/ethnic group, particularly Asians and…
