THE SCHOLASTIC APTITUDE TESTS (S.A.T.'s): A LOGICAL ANALYSIS. DO THE S.A.T.'s PREDICT; DO THEY DISCRIMINATE; ARE THEY IQ TESTS

Abstract

The true measure of the ability of Scholastic Aptitude Tests, high‐school grades, and other variables (and combinations of variables) to predict college performance would be this: a college would select its students at random, ail selected students would attend the college, and the correlations of the variables with performance at the college would be determined.
