The Nelson-Denny Reading Test as a Predictor of College Freshman Grades.
Wood, Peter H.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v42 n2 p575-83 Sum 1982
The purpose of this study was to determine the difficulty level, the internal consistency, and the usefulness of the Nelson-Denny Reading Test (NDRT) as a predictor of college freshmen grades. Adding the NDRT to a prediction equation already containing high school grade point average did improve the prediction. (Author/BW)
