01/01/1988 This study examines the validity of predictors of freshman-year university grades for Asian American and white students and determines the effects of gender, Asian American subgroup, and academic majors on predictive validity. Among the findings are: (1) High school grades and SAT or Achievement Test scores can, to a moderate degree, predict university freshman grades of Asian American and white students; and (2) for both Asian American and white students, the best single predictor is the high school grade-point average; and (3) for Asian American but not for white students, mathematics scores or quantitative skills are a better predictor of university grades than are verbal scores. |
