| Abstract: | Regressing adjusted grade-point averages on freshman SAT scores and high school grade-point averages results in large increases
in the incremental predictive validity of the SAT. Even so, the SAT still changes no more than a small proportion of admissions
decisions and does not result in substantively important increases in freshman grades. The test does, however, change the
composition of the freshman class by altering acceptances to some major areas of study and by limiting the access of women
and blacks. |
