Cultural Literacy.

Pentony, Joseph F.

Adult Basic Education, v7 n1 p39-45 Spr 1997

Hirsch's Cultural Literacy Test was completed by 200 undergraduates. Subjects who scored highest had higher grade point averages and Scholastic Assessment Test scores. Results for minorities were inconsistent and based on small samples. Effectiveness of the test for adult literacy students remains unproven. (SK)
