Accuracy of Self-Reported High School Courses and Grades of College-Bound Students.
Sawyer, Richard; And Others
College and University, v64 n3 p288-99 Spr 1989
A study attempted to verify earlier research results suggesting that college-bound students' self-reporting of coursework and grades is relatively accurate. It also examined whether different subgroups of students (categorized by sex, racial-ethnic group, ability level, educational level, and date tested) varied significantly in their reporting accuracy.
