Academic Achievement in Mathematics and Science of Students between Ages 13 and 23: Are There Differences among Students in the Top One Percent of Mathematical Ability?
Benbow, Camilla Persson
Journal of Educational Psychology, v84 n1 p51-61 Mar 1992
The predictive validity of the mathematics subtest of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT-M) was investigated for 1,996 mathematically gifted (top 1 percent) seventh and eighth graders through academic achievements assessed over 10 years. The SAT-M appears to have predictive validity for differentiating highly able seventh and eighth graders. (SLD)
