The Predictive Validity of the Pharmacy College Admission Test as Compared with that of the Other Academic Predictors.

Sisson, Harriet E.; Dizney, Henry F.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v40 n2 p425-29 Sum 1980

A regression equation incorporating grade point average (GPA), calculus grade, and grades in two sections of the Pharmacy College Admission Test was significantly more useful than using GPA alone. A minimum sum of scores in three PCAT sections was most effective. Cross-validation with new samples was recommended. (Author/CP)
