[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 692636, member: 265"] The problem here is that the correlations are over-determined. As I pointed out, tests are used to determine a floor for applicants. It isn't surprising that it works as a predictor for highly selective colleges; those schools get students with high HSGPA (handy abbreviation) [I]and[/I] high test scores. And, as the graphs show, the differences in predictions for both stats is negligible in highly selective schools. I'm not surprised that HSGPA works better in less selective colleges; they have more variation in both test scores [I]and[/I] HSGPA among accepted students. But I shouldn't have said that tests don't predict "very well"; as the study shows, that depends. I was using my own experience - my college was "very selective", not "highly selective". My bad. Minor quibbles = the data is pretty old and the study was conducted by the ETS. There have been some drastic changes in college student bodies since 1995. But I doubt curing these would lead to much different conclusions. [/QUOTE]
