The Predictive Validity of the Stanford Mathematics Test Across Race and Sex.

Powers, Stephen; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v43 n2 p645-49 Sum 1983

An examination of the predictive validity of the Stanford Mathematics Test included 426 Black and White eighth- and ninth-grade students. No significant differences were found in mean residuals by race. Differences of small magnitude occurred by sex in one cohort which indicated underprediction for females and overprediction for males.
