Prediction of University Success: A Follow-Up Study of the 1977 Internal Intake to the University of New England.

Watkins, David

Australian Journal of Education, v23 n3 p301-03 Oct 1979

This follow-up study of 275 university freshmen confirmed that the final secondary examination, the Higher School Certificate, is a moderately good predictor of university success. Of the other variables studied (satisfaction with university and various personality measures) only a study habits score contributed further to the prediction of university performance. (Author/SJL)
