This study was to identify variables potentially useful in predicting a larger proportion of variance in community college study fields than accounted for by the current Washington Pre-College (WPC) battery. Selected tests from the Comparative Guidance and Placement (CGP) Core and Research Batteries, and the Tool and Form Matching subtests from…

Beanblossom, Gary F.; And Others – 1968
The Washington Pre-College (WPC) program decided, in fall 1967, to inaugurate in April 1968 the testing of high school students during the spring of their junior year. The advantages of this shift from senior year testing were to provide guidance data for earlier, more extensive use in high school and to make these data available to colleges at…

Maier, R.O. – 1968
This evaluation was made to determine whether the SCAT-verbal cutoff scores were adequate for placement in the four different English courses. To accomplish this, 223 students for whom both the scores and the English grades were available for the four courses were chosen. The total number of students (381) completing the courses were used as the…

Lunneborg, Clifford E.; And Others – 1969
This research attempted to extend educational prediction for community college students by including nontraditional (nonintellective) predictors and criteria. Predictors included the Washington Pre-College (WPC) Battery, the Comparative Guidance Placement (CGP) Battery, and high school grade point averages (GPA). Criteria included students'…

Craft, Larry N. – 1972
The purpose of this study was to arrive at a criterion for grade prediction for college freshmen enrolling in a non-laboratory biological science course. The independent variables employed (selected on the basis of availability from previous academic performance) were: (1) high school overall grade point average (GPA), (2) high school science…

Acey, Alfred E. – 1968
The results of this study seem to indicate that time may be a relevant variable when scores on a personality inventory are used to predict achievement of college freshmen. When a sample of freshmen college students were required to respond to statements of the California Psychological Inventory (CPI) in a controlled amount of time per statement,…

Fletcher, Richard K., Jr. – 1978
The following 8 variables were tested as predictors of success of students enrolled in freshman chemistry at Tennessee Technological University: (1) ACT subtest in natural science; (2) ACT subtest in mathematics; (3) ACT composite scores; (4) final course grade in high school chemistry; (5) final course grade in high school physics; (6) high…

Lunneborg, Patricia W. – 1970
Research indicates the necessity for predictive criteria other than grades to aid the community college student in making decisions concerning career, and goals. Three successive studies were conducted which demonstrate that unless there is a close correspondence between predictors and criteria, the available tests are able to predict only graded…

Fincher, Cameron – 1983
A study examined the predictive efficiency of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) for adult learners in the University System of Georgia (USGA). Also investigated during the study were the effects of variables such as age, sex, and race on the performance of adult learners on the SAT and in college and the relative academic performance of adult…
