The Effects of College Grade Adjustments on the Predictive Validity and Utility of SAT Scores.
Keller, Dana; And Others
Research in Higher Education, v35 n2 p195-208 Apr 1994
Regressing adjusted grade point averages (GPAs) on freshman Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores and high school GPAs increases the SAT's predictive validity. However, these adjusted SATs change only a small proportion of admissions decisions, do not increase freshman grades, but do change freshman class composition in some majors and limit access of women and blacks.
