Evidence suggest the importance of Mathematics Achievement scores as predictors of general academic success at the undergraduate level. (Authors)

Considers forecasts of A-Level results made by teachers for candidates for a Management Sciences university course. The forecasting mechanism is found to be accurate but some conclusions which are important for university selection can be made. (Author)

Expressions for the expected value, density, and distribution function (DF) of GS (gain from selection) are derived and studied in terms of sample size, number of predictors, and the prior distribution assigned to the population multiple correlation. (Author/RK)

To individualize instruction in reading, a system of diagnostic measures must be used to establish needs areas. Author examines a number of such measures and proposes subsequent study culminating in a Predictive Index. (Editor/MB)

Results offer empirical support to Ilg and Ames's claim that the Gesell battery is an excellent predictor of school readiness. The close similarity of the Piaget and Gesell tests accords well with previous findings that the two tests have much in common. (Authors/MB)

Most personality tests are based on concepts assessing typical performance, and tests of this sort have not been generally successful in predicting criterion behaviors with useful levels of efficiency. Ability tests, which call for maximal performance, have been much more successful as predictors of criterion outcomes. (Editor)

In a search for an adequate but efficient substitute, the authors have instituted three evaluations of the relationships between potential WAIS-substitutes and the WAIS itself. The present report describes the first of these researches-- a study of the relationships between the four group ability tests and the WAIS in a mental hospital setting.…

Study is concerned with an item analysis of 465 Integration Level Test Series items in an attempt to develop a delinquency predictor scale for the test series. (Authors)

The present study was conducted to establish a scoring key for the Guilford Zimmerman Temperament Survey appropriate for predicting academic performance. Results point to the utility of non-cognitive measures in predicting academic performance, particularly when scoring keys tailored to the specific situation are empirically derived. Suggestions…

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

Results of this study indicate that an English proficiency test such as TOEFL may raise the validity of the GRE aptitude tests in predicting foreign students' graduate school GPA. (Author)

Specific aim of the study was to determine the predictive accuracy of selected observations obtained during developmental periods on later developmental outcome. (Authors)

With a sample of 64 secondary school classes in Montreal, the predictive validity of a set of 15 learning environment scales was tested in eight subject areas. (Authors)

Research examined the hypothesis that predictive validity would be greater for a test given under stress instructions than for a test given under relax instructions. Ss were 254 education students in a graduate measurement course and 117 education students in an undergraduate measurement course. Ss were randomly assigned to the instructional…

In 1989, Cochise College (CC) conducted a study to determine if a positive relationship existed between grade placement scores on the Nelson-Denny or Nelson reading comprehension examination and academic performance. The study population consisted of new or first-time CC students who were tested after May 1989. Placement scores for students who…
