The Validity of College Grade Prediction Equations over Time.
Sawyer, Richard; Maxey, James
Journal of Educational Measurement, v16 n4 p279-84 Win 1979
College freshmen's grade point averages at 260 colleges were predicted on the basis of multiple regression equations using the four previous classes separately to compute the equations. Predictor variables were four American College Test (ACT) scores and high school grades. Predictions remained accurate over the four-year period. (Author/CTM)
